It came out in 2006 through label Champirado Records, founded by vocalist and bassist Champignon (formerly of Charlie Brown Jr.), and distributed by Universal Music Group.

Revolucionnários
Revolucionnários ( Portuguese for "''Revolutionnaries''" ) was a Brazilian rock band from Santos, São Paulo. History After parting ways with his former band Charlie Brown Jr. in 2005 amid a series of creative divergences and clashes with vocalist Chorão, bassist Champignon formed Revolucionnários soon after, claiming it was always a dream of his having his own side project to Charlie Brown Jr. in which he could have more creative control over the songwriting process. Thus, he dubbed his band "Revolucionnários" because he intended to "revolutionize his life" with this new endeavor; the double "N" alludes to a numerology map made by the mother of a friend of Champignon. Drummer Pablo Silva, son of famous percussionist Robertinho Silva, was a long-time friend of Champignon, and was the first to join the band; guitarist Nando Martins lived in the same condo as Champignon, and was invited by him after they chatted in the elevator. In his turn, Nando invited his friend Diego ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Age Of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius, in astrology, is either the current or forthcoming astrological age, depending on the method of calculation. Astrologers maintain that an astrological age is a product of the Earth's slow precessional rotation and lasts for 2,160 years, on average (one 25,920 year period of precession, or ''great year'', divided by 12 zodiac signs equals a 2,160 year astrological age). There are various methods of calculating the boundaries of an astrological age. In Sun-sign astrology, the first sign is Aries, followed by Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces, whereupon the cycle returns to Aries and through the zodiacal signs again. Astrological ages proceed in the opposite direction. Therefore, the Age of Aquarius follows the Age of Pisces. Overview The approximate 2,160 years for each age corresponds to the average time it takes for the vernal equinox to move from one constellati ...

Acoustic Music
Acoustic music is music that solely or primarily uses instruments that produce sound through acoustic means, as opposed to electric or electronic means. While all music was once acoustic, the retronym "acoustic music" appeared after the advent of electric instruments, such as the electric guitar, electric violin, electric organ and synthesizer. Acoustic string instrumentations had long been a subset of popular music, particularly in folk. It stood in contrast to various other types of music in various eras, including big band music in the pre-rock era, and electric music in the rock era. Music reviewer Craig Conley suggests, "When music is labeled acoustic, unplugged, or unwired, the assumption seems to be that other types of music are ''cluttered'' by technology and overproduction and therefore aren't as ''pure''." Types of acoustic instruments Acoustic instruments can be split into six groups: string instruments, wind instruments, percussion, other instrumen ...
