Hot on the heels of the 4 LP Portuguese Nuggets series comes this ‘what happened next’ comp. The time span is 1968-74, with the emphasis on the early ’70s. The only recognisable band is Quarteto IIII.
As the back sleeve liners note, Portugal took its psych cue from bands like The Soft Machine, so as you might expect, there is strong prog and experimental quotient of often semi-instrumental material. Not that this is bad – many of the tracks have pleasant pulsating rhythms and are well played.
There are a few bluesy Cream wannabes but the real psych numbers are worth getting the LP for on their own. Fluid’s ‘O Homem Sentado’ is a delicate Nirvana like tune and others from Jose Cid, Sergio Borges, Heavy Band and Beatnicks turn in some very good sounds.
