Prelude is the eighth studio album by Brazilian keyboardist Eumir Deodato, released in 1973.[1][7] With the signature track "Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001)" (an arrangement of the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey), Prelude also features one of the most heavily sampled drum breaks in the early hip hop cannon. The opening bars of September 13 features a legendary break beat used in many classic hip hop songs. The album can be categorised as classical-jazz fusion, thought by some as elevator music with a twist.[8]Prelude would become the most successful recording for Deodato and CTI Records.
This album was reissued on the Super Audio CD format in October 2017 by UK label Dutton Vocalion,
Remastered in both Stereo and Surround Sound from the original analogue tapes by Michael J. Dutton and released as a 2-fer with 1973's "Deodato 2".
The Surround Sound portion of the disc features the Quadraphonic mixes of both "Prelude" and "Deodato 2" made available for the first time in over 40 years.
