Nelson Angelo - "Harmonia De Agua" - (4:56) 133 BPM
Review: After 2017's first volume garnered widespread critical acclaim, Music From Memory present a second collection of "electronic and contemporary music from Brazil". We've moved a little forward in time, with this set focusing on the years 1984-1986 compared to the original's 1978-1992, but the general New Age ethos remains the same. May East's opener 'Maraka', a slab of slo-mo disco with almost Gothic-style female vocals, is a highlight but also something of an outlier, being one of the album's few dancefloor-oriented moments: elsewhere, more downtempo and ambient moods prevail. Chance's mid-80s cut 'Intro: Amazonia' is particularly worthy of attention, coming on like trip-hop about 10 years before the fact.
