New Elemental Music re-issue of Gal Costa's Tropicália classic, 'Legal', from 1970 – pure class as always from Gal Costa! The record is her first after
the immediate Tropicalia years, and it's a stunning blend of styles that
seems to draw heavily from changes going on in the American rock scene
at the time. The core of the music is still steeped in Brazilian
elements – but there's a lot of influences coming into play on the
album, like bluesy rock phrasing, showy nostalgia-heavy arrangements,
psychedelic production elements, and some of the baroque orchestrations
that would show up on Gal's later albums in the 70s.
