Great Lo-Fi music - Similar to Lowlife, Joy Division - Pretty Gothic.......2007-03-06

I heard this band on a Brazilian compilation, expecting them to sound like Joy Division. And they did. Sort of. So I went searching for more. The only thing I found available was this album "Amanha E Tarde," recorded ten or fifteen years after their peak in the 1980s. What can you expect? A lot. This album is great. It grows on you and gets better with each listen. I love Lowlife. I love Joy Division. And now I love Fellini. After much searching on the internet, I found one of their earlier albums called "O Adeus de fellini." I think it's a compilation. And it's pretty good. But more New Wave sounding and dated. I listen to that CD once in a while. But this album I listen to all the time. And everyone who hears it wants to get it for themselves. So buy it now before it's forgotten and out-of-print.

Personal, Beautiful, and Addictive.......2005-05-11

This experimental Brazilian Indi-Rock outfit was a great part of my teen years in the 80's, a great love affair. For a long time they were gone; now, they are back to re-candle a long lost romance.

The experimental edge they had has been toned down. The 80's beat and production are gone; and so is the slightly hard (and dated) drum machine. This is a new Fellini! Yet, it is still the understated and highly personal band that I fell in love with 20 years ago. The beautiful, hypnotic, laid-back, and intriguing melodies are still there as well. And so are the beautiful lyrics (all in Portuguese). The Indi-Rock tracks 'Retrato' and 'Greve' have the kind of melancholic melody that will haunt you for days. Some tracks like 'Ventre Livre' and the gorgeous Samba 'Gravado no Rio' have more of a groove to them.

Fellini still shows the duality of their members' cultures. 'Amanha E Tarde' has one foot in Brazil (the beautiful and intricate vocal arrangements and the Samba/Bossa Nova rhythms) and the other in England (Production and acoustic Indi-Rock feel). The array of instruments helps the band show the dreamy connection between the two cultures: pianos, berimbaus, strings, acoustic and electric guitars.

After listening to 'Amanha E Tarde' I realized how much I had missed Fellini. I am extremely happy that they've recorded this CD.
