PETRUS CASTRUS - CD MESTRE

Popis - MESTRE:
One of the top Portuguese 70s rock names, Petrus Castrus is surely better known for its "Ascenao e Queda" second album, reissued in Korea on CD a few years ago. But for most of the lucky people who could listen to both albums, the 1973 debut "Mestre" is the best one. Very highly rated (among the ones who know it!) in the progressive rock scene, this is so rare in original, very few people have it even in Portugal. The album consists on 11 tracks featuring Portuguese lyrics, effective drumming and strong use of keys, though never falling into the synphonic field, this might be a blend of progressive rock and slight psych tinges. But besides these legendary recordings, some other stuff is giving this wonderful reissue an additional importance. this is, two 1977 bonus tracks unreleased until now, plus a second CD with 16 new tracks recorded between 2000 and 2005 by brothers Pedro Castro (Petrus Castrus) and Jos, along with Pedros son.



Remastered sound from mastertapes, and in nice triple gatefold digipack with a 12-page booklet containing some rare never seen photos, linernotes (in Portuguese only) and all lyrics, this is a welcome and long awaited release sure to fill lots of prog collection gaps!
