Depois do Fim is an album from Brazil that is a must for traditional symphonic prog fans looking to explore the South American gems. This album was originally recorded in 1977, but remained unreleased at the time due to lack of interest, that is until the prog-rock revival of the early 80s. For that reason, despite its release date, Depois du Fim remains a very solid, if typical, symphonic prog album with a sound that is firmly entrenched in the 1970s. Bacamarte has a tendency for incorporating both a beautiful pastoral feel with acoustic guitar and classical piano, along with hard-rocking sections that feature Tull-ish flute melodies and zipping synthesizers. The music is centered on the versatile guitar work and impeccable compositions, as well as the beautiful female vocals.
"U.F.O." is a phenomenal instrumental the opens the album and makes a case for best track on the album, while "Smog Aldo" and "Contoversia" feature some phenomenal singing. As a whole, the album is extremely beautiful symphonic progressive, but with a definite "kick" to it. A more rocking, guitar-oriented PFM with a significant early Tull influence is a comfortable analogy, but with the addition of some very expressive female vocals. Also, like most great progressive albums, there is quite a bit of depth and subtlety in the arrangements and compositions, so that they become even more enjoyable with subsequent listens. - Greg Northrup [Feburary 2001]
