RELEASE DATE

Yellow vinyl version. Mais Um present a reissue of
Lucas Santtana
's
3 Sessions In A Greenhouse
, originally released on CD only in 2006. On the 15th anniversary of its original release, Mais Um revisit a lost classic from the catalog of one of Brazil's most regarded and influential contemporary songwriters. Featuring
Tom Zé
and mangue beat pioneer,
Gilmar Bola 8
, Lucas Santtana's
3 Sessions In A Greenhouse
fused psyched-out samba and baile funk with original Black Ark-style studio distortion and spiritual dub dread, laying the foundations for his seminal
Sem Nostalgia
LP five years later (MAIS 002CD/LP), and in the process, establishing Santtana as an elemental force of Brazil's current new wave. "At the beginning of my career, I was experimenting, trying to figure out my sound. On
3 Sessions In A Greenhouse
, I discovered what I am and what I wanted to do in music. All the pieces connected. Everything just felt like the right place at the right time." Comprising four originals and four Santtana/
Seleçao Natural
dubs,
3 Sessions In A Greenhouse
was and is a sound clash unlike any to have come before. Produced by Santtana and Recife's dubsetter himself,
Buguinha Dub
, each session was approached as an opportunity not to just record each instrument but to create an environment in which the studio becomes the centerpiece. Recorded and mixed entirely live as a group, with no overdubs,
3 Sessions
feels uniquely intimate and relaxed (best typified by the band's "chat" in-between recordings). Tropicalia icon Tom Zé features on Santtana's slightly zippier version of Zé's samba dub "Ogodô Ano 2000" and American journalist
Phylis Huber
's reading of an extract of
Virgina Woolf
's
The Waves
on the expansive nine minute-long Balearic/Afrobeat dub "A Natureza Espera", is poignant and trippy. Santtana's take on
Naçao Zumbi
's "Pela Orla Dos Velhos Tempos", featuring original member and percussionist
Gilmar Bola 8
on vocals, takes on techier references of the Detroit type, whilst vinyl closer "Into Shade" is a sumptuous psych rock dub ballad, co-written by
Arto Lindsay
. Remastered by German dub shaman,
