The relaxed pop music with which it was comfortable cruising the American highways in the seventies was also called FM Rock. The Eagles, Supertramp and Steely Dan were among the big names who made traveling long distances with the sun burning on the roof or head bearable.

In their sparse spare time, they relax undisturbed on their yacht, listening to the same music. At least, according to Brazil's most versatile singer Ed Motta, who suggests on AOR to categorize this CD under 'Yacht Rock'. His music and way of singing can be considered an exact copy of Steely Dan. Light pop music with a soulful groove composed on the piano. Even Motta's way of singing shows that he listened very carefully to the work of Donald Fagen, one of the founders of Steely Dan. Since the example shows very little more of itself, it is nice that Motta honors this pleasant listening music. (AD) it is nice that Motta honors this pleasant listening music.
