MADREDEUS
The Spirit Of Lisbon – The Very Best Of
Nascente NSDCD030 (2012)

1987-2005 compilation from well-known Lisbon classical guitars and synth band, all with the high-floating voice of long-serving Teresa Salgueiro before current rebirth (including April’s London show) with her replacement. Double CD for under £6, but leaflet notes, telling band history but not the songs’ content, crammed into microscopic, largely illegible fonts.
