Terreno Baldio - Terreno Baldio (Reissue) (1976/1992)

Known by many as the 'Brazilian Gentle Giant', TERRENO BALDIO are one of the most important prog-rock bands in Brazil. Grouped in the beginning of the 70s, the band debut was the album "Terreno Baldio", which got substantial sellings although the master-tapes were lost avoiding new editions. The line-up was Jo?o Carlos Kurk (vocal, flute and percussion), Mozart de Mello (guitars), Ronaldo Lazzarini (keyboards), Ascen??o (bass) and Joaquim (drums).

The band released one other album "Al?m das Lendas Brasileiras", a mix of rock and Brazilian folk, before disbanding in 1978. The line-up then was slightly different with Ayres Braga, replacing Ascen??o.

TERRENO BALDIO regrouped in 1993 to re-record their first album, this time in English, for a release through international label Progressive Rock Worldwide (with bonus-tracks added). Line-up for this '1993 version' was Kurk, Mello and Lazzarini.

Noticeable is that more than 20 years after its original release, TERRENO BALDIO and the Brazilian label Rock Symphony recovered the original first album, still unreleased in CD. The CD release includes a folder with all the band biography, interviews, photos and also an extra folder in English aiming at the international market.
