In 1987 they released the LP "A Era de Incerteza". and in 1989 they release their 3rd recording, "Zé".

In 1990 their remix of "Bem Vindo" put them back up on the charts in Rio de Janeiro. The following year they release "Meu Rein", which gained success even before being released on the LP "Descivilização".
