Sucesso do Inconsciente


Sucesso do Inconsciente is the fourth studio album by Brazilian new wave band João Penca e Seus Miquinhos Amestrados. It was released in 1989 by independent label Esfinge.
The album spawned the hit single "Matinê no Rian", which would be used as the opening theme of the telenovela ''O Sexo dos Anjos''. Paula Toller of Kid Abelha fame provides additional vocals for this track.

Background

"Matinê no Rian" references the Cinema Rian, a famous now-defunct movie theater in Rio de Janeiro which was founded by then-First Lady of Brazil Nair de Tefé in 1932 and demolished in 1983.
"S.O.S. Miquinhos" is a medley comprising the tracks "Namoradinha de um Amigo Meu", "Esperto É o Coqueiro", "Certo ou Errado", "Rua Augusta", "Vem Quente que Eu Estou Fervendo" and a cover of Christie's "Yellow River".
