Catelogue, Index & Preserve
Marcos Resende & Index - Marcos Resende & Index [FARO 220LP UK 2021 24-Bit FLAC] I really appreciate the current trend where small, young specialist labels dig out lost recordings or secure the rights to reissue very rare records from years gone by. Although my favourite genre is the post-punk period, I also love up-tempo & obtuse latin music and this record ticks those boxes. Marcos Resende was once one of the most in demand Brazilian keyboard player session musicians who also released a small number of solo albums. With his Index ensemble, he released Festa Para Um Novo Rei on Phillips in 1978, which is one of the most sought after albums of Brazilian funky-jazz-fusion. That album has yet to be reissued, however shorty before he sadly died in 2020, he handed over the masters of an earlier, totally unreleased album, recorded in 1976. This album will ooze from from your speakers, it is slick, funky and übercool, it delivers the sounds & atmosphere of Brazil...
