Skylab VIII is the eighth studio album by the Brazilian musician Rogério Skylab, the eighth in his series of ten eponymous, numbered albums. It was self-released on July 29, 2008; to promote the album's release, Skylab made an exclusive performance at the Cine Lapa in Rio de Janeiro.[1] Skylab VIII's liner notes state that it was dedicated to Marcos Petrilo, a long-time friend of Skylab who executive-produced his first two releases; he is also mentioned in the lyrics of "Meu Diário".[2] Skylab has once claimed that while he doesn't think of Skylab VIII as one of his best albums, its cover art was one of his favorites.[3]
A music video was made for the track "Eu Tô Sempre Dopado", directed by Amílcar Oliveira.[4]
The track "Bat Masterson" is a parody of the Portuguese-language version of the theme song of the eponymous TV series, as sung by Carlos Gonzaga. "Casas da Banha" was re-recorded from his 1992 debut, Fora da Grei.
The album can be downloaded for free on Skylab's official website.[2]
