They are amazing as Clube da Esquina II. But sound more Milton himself. One person found this helpful. Not one of his best but a wonderful collection of tropical' tunes.
This album has been out for 18 years. I bought it inbut it took 17 years for it to hit me how great it really is. I've loved Brazilian music for many years, but because of it's myriad influences, this wouldn't fall into that category easily. An amazing array of colors permeate this 70 minute masterpiece. Particular highlights for me were Veracruz and Southern Cross.
Word of advice: if you own it, don't sell it before giving it years to grow in you. Sit still and listen! My main objection is that it does not live up to the promise delivered by the famous names of the participants like Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Pat Metheny a. Just as a warning to all Brazilian music lovers out there: this is certainly not a must have, apart from die hard Milton fans. I would rather recommend De Um Modo Geral.

I purchased this album as a way of getting to know more about Milton Nascimento and as an introduction to the great man, it's not bad. It's certainly beautifully put together and Milton is in fine form vocally.
Plus there is an abundance of beguiling rhythms and melodies to sooth the ear. So, 'Angelus' on paper should potentially be a great listen. What's the problem I hear you ask? Hard to say. If I had to hazard a guess I would suggest that the album while boasts talent such as Wayne Shorter, Pat Metheny and Herbie Hancock, there isn't really enough good songs to justify all the care, craft and instrumental firepower.
In short 'Angelus' feels 'top heavy'. Don't get me wrong-this is a very enjoyable disc, but too much of it simply floats in one ear and the out the other. The lovely duet with James Taylor on 'Only a dream in Rio' and a fairly lively go at an old 'Vera Cruz' give the whole thing some substance.
But elsewhere the accent is firmly on creating vocalese soundscapes that are attractive if not particularly memorable. If you want to hear however how good Brazilian inflected jazz can sound, try Wayne Shorter's 'Native Dancer'. Report abuse Translate review to English. Translate review to English.
