According to former guitarist Zique, by 1989 Nau had begun working on their second album. Eight tracks were recorded for this album, but due to a lack of promotion and the declining appreciation of Brazilian rock during the late 1980s and early 1990s, the album was ultimately scrapped. As a result, the group disbanded shortly thereafter. Additionally, CBS, the label that released their first album, was dissolved the following year after being acquired by Sony. Four of the tracks intended for the unreleased second album were made available for streaming on Zique's now-defunct official website. Under the title O Álbum Perdido do Nau, it would only be released in its entirety on November 9, 2018, four years after the death of vocalist Vange Leonel.Morre cantora Vange Leonel aos 51 anos
"Nau" is the Portuguese word for carrack.
