40 years after José Cid’s 10000 Anos Depois Entre Vénus e Marte

Even if those upper-mentioned pies include fado, pop, folk, or even more popular, arguably muzak-styled tunes (one of them even made it to the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKk3PvZYXiQ" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Eurovision in 1980</a>), José Cid’s most praised work can be traced back not only to Quarteto 1111’s days (both the band’s self-titled debut LP and its successor Onde, Como, Quando, Porquê? Cantamos Pessoas Vivas are definitely worth a listen) but also to his 1978 solo prog-rock chef d’oeuvre 10,000 Anos Depois Entre Vénus E Marte, an album whose innovation in both composition and arrangements owes nothing to masters of the genre like Can or King Crimson. A rarity in its own right (10,000 Anos has only known one official vinyl release, by Portuguese label Orfeu back in 1978), original copies of the album are currently priced at no less than $250 on Discogs — this in spite of a recent re-release, a special commemorative edition of one of 2014’s live performances of the album featuring a CD and DVD; it is limited to a thousand copies though, so good luck finding one. <a href="https://analeorne.medium.com/40-years-after-jos%C3%A9-cids-10-000-anos-depois-entre-v%C3%A9nus-e-marte-c030e6242efc">click Here</a>
