Portuguese keyboard player and composer José Cid released an EP in 1977 called Vida (Sons do Quotidiano). It's a concept album dealing with life from birth to death (apparently, life ended on this disc with an automobile accident, since you hear a car crash, before the disc ends with a synth solo). The record features Mellotron, Moog synthesizer, and string synth.
[edit] Description
The last Quarteto 1111 album, Cantamos Pessoas Vivas (1974) was Cid's first journey in to progressive rock. The band broke up and Cid decided go solo and continue on this prog direction. First he released the Vida ... EP in 1977 followed by a full LP the next year 10,000 Anos Depois Entre Venus E Marte.
