Funziona Senza Vapore is the only release by Funziona Senza Vapore, a very short-lived side project founded by former Fellini vocalist Cadão Volpato in 1992, two years after Fellini's first break-up. It was recorded in 1992, but wouldn't be released until 2002, by Brazilian independent label Outros Discos.
Background[]
In 1984, Cadão Volpato formed the post-punk band Fellini alongside Jair Marcos, Ricardo Salvagni and Thomas Pappon.[1][2] The band would come to an end in 1990, and shortly after, Pappon left Brazil and moved to Europe.[3][4]
In 1992, Volpato decided to form a side project named Funziona Senza Vapore, named after Fellini's most famous song, present in their 1985 debut O Adeus de Fellini.[5] It counted with the presence of both original members Jair Marcos and Ricardo Salvagni, but , famous for her work with indie rock band Lara Hanouska, replaced Thomas Pappon. They recorded an album, but being unable to find a record label willing to release it, for a long time it was abandoned, until in 1999 Volpato found the album's tapes amongst his belongings and managed to get it released by Outros Discos in 2002.[6]

Funziona Senza Vapore was positively received upon its release: writing for UOL Cliquemusic, Marco Antônio Barbosa rated it with 3 out of 5 stars, calling it a "curious" work and praising Cadão Volpato's and Stela Campos' vocals, his "surreal and deliriously romantic" lyrics and its "idiosyncratic melodies".[7]
Magazine ZERO rated it with a 7 out of 10, saying that even though the album is "hard to listen for those who are not accustomed to Volpato's former project Fellini", its "lo-fi samba and poetic lyrics" are some of its strong points. They particularly praised the songs "Shakespeare", "Veneza" and "Zero de Comportamento".[8][9]
Chico Science, former vocalist and founding member of Mangue Bit band Nação Zumbi, was a huge fan of both Fellini and Cadão Volpato; he made a cover of "Criança de Domingo", which is present as a bonus track on the CD re-release of Nação Zumbi's 1996 album . "Se Você For Onde Você For" and "Passagem Meteórica" would appear on Stela Campos' debut solo album, Céu de Brigadeiro, released in 1999.
