Known by many as the "Brazilian Gentle Giant", Terreno Baldio
are one of the most important prog-rock bands in Brazil. Grouped in the
beginning of the 70s, the band debut was the album Terreno Baldio, which
[sold substantially well] although the master-tapes were lost [preventing] new
editions.
The band released one other album, Além das Lendas Brasileiras, a mix of
rock and Brazilian folk, before disband in 1978. The line-up then was slightly
different with Ayres Braga, replacing Ascenção.
Terreno Baldio regrouped in 1993 to re-record their first album, this time in
English, for a release through international label Progressive Rock Worldwide
(with bonus-tracks added). Line-up for this '1993 version' was Kurk, Mello and
Lazzarini.
Noticeable is that more than 20 years after its original release, Terreno Baldio
and the Brazilian label Rock Symphony recovered the original first album, still
unreleased in CD. The CD release includes a folder with all the band biography,
interviews, photos and also an extra folder in English aiming the international
market.
