Madredeus- Moviemento (2001)

Best Tracks: Anseio (Fuga Appressada), Ecos Da Catedral, Tarde-Por Favor

Weakest Tracks: O Segredo Do Futuro, Pulpitacao

First of all, while I love some good folk music, my interest in World Music varies. It starts out great with the album’s best track, Anseio. The second track is also decent as you can hear the folk influences. It seems to go downhill after that though. I mean it isn’t a terrible album, but I wouldn’t call it the greatest album in the history of civilization, sorry, Mic.

The album does end on a good note with Tarde, Por Favor. I like the use of chimes in the song. If the album had been in that vein I might have been able to give it a better rating. As it is, I have to say it’s pretty meh, especially in the middle.

Rating: 4/10.

The Word has spoken.

PS- I listened to the album on Spotify and, after the album ended, it played a track called O Pastor from 1990. That was pretty impressive actually. Maybe you chose the wrong Madredeus album to spotlight, Mic.
