The work is recognized for its intrinsically Brazilian sound, steering clear of international progressive rock clichés.

Despite their short discography, the album "Desequilíbrios" is remembered for its musical and lyrical quality, exploring complex themes and elaborate arrangements. The band, like other names in Brazilian progressive rock, contributed to the diversification of the country's musical scene, demonstrating the genre's adaptability and originality on national territory.
