Dias Melhores

Dias Melhores (Portuguese for "Better Days") is a compilation album by Brazilian rock band Zero, released in 2004 by Voiceprint Records. It is composed of many songs and rarities Zero recorded during the beginning of their career, approximately between 1984 and 1985, and as such it is one of the few registers of their first ever line-up, comprising vocalist Guilherme Isnard, guitarists Fabio Golfetti and Nelson Coelho, drummer Cláudio Souza, bassist Beto Birger and saxophonist Gilles Eduar. Isnard would be the band's only founding member to remain in Zero's many different line-ups.[1]

Notes
  • Tracks 1–2 were taken from the single "Heróis" (1985).
  • Track 3 was taken from May East's debut studio album Remota Batucada (1985).
  • Tracks 4–8 were taken from a previously unreleased demo tape recorded by the band in 1984; "Os Olhos Falam" would be eventually re-recorded for Zero's EP Passos no Escuro, and once again for their compilation Electro-Acústico. "Heróis de Hamelin" is simply an alternate version of "Heróis", but with a different title.
  • Tracks 9–12 were taken from a rehearsal recorded by the band between 1984 and 1985.

gollark: I "fixed" it, I just needed to enable single frame mode.
gollark: Arguably I should have some sort of "compressed size" field on it, but that would be work, so *instead* I'll just not do that and add on a length thing if it ever becomes necessary to not zstd-encode files.
gollark: And it was not in fact reading multiple files but I edited it in the wrong place.
gollark: It would be really stupid to read the entire file into memory.
gollark: Yeeees.
