Tim Maia Racional Vols. 1 & 2
“Tim Maia Racional is proof that Tim Maia was a genius. He succeeded in making the unmusical musical: taking a dense text devoid of melody and rhythm and creating a timeless work.”

Tim Maia was never satisfied.
Tim Maia’s existential detour was unprecedented. Historically, famous musicians have taken spiritual flights of fancy: Cat Stevens went Muslim way after he was hitting the charts; Bob Dylan was briefly born again Christian during an artistic dip in the late seventies; the Beatles’ foray into Eastern spirituality came at the end of their run and only added to their counterculture credibility; Sly and the Family Stone bassist and solo star, Larry Graham was born again as a Jehovah’s Witness and decades later helped convert Prince, but nothing compares to the metaphycial doo-doo Tim Maia fell in during the height of his fame.
