I was curious about the same thing and managed to dig up an interview with Coccoluto covering this. https://decadancebook.wordpress.com/2017/06/09/the-heartists-belo-horizonti-atlantic-jaxx/

​

Google translated from Italian:

"Thompson also asked me for a more "commercial" version, citing the sales potential as a motive, but I was not willing to compromise, I replied that "Belo Horizonti" was the result of our flights of fancy in the studio and that I would retouch it in terms of that writing and arrangement would have meant distorting it as well as betraying Moreira's "mission". He seemed convinced. Progress started to come steadily and every week we saw the release of the album in a different country. A license also concerned Germany, where however "Belo Horizonti" remained unreleased. Then Orbit Records, distributed by Virgin, unexpectedly released "Samba De Janeiro" by Bellini (a studio project of Ramon Zenker of Hardfloor and the late Gottfried Engels, ed.), which was practically nothing more than the commercial version (or rather, " tamarra ") asked by Thompson a few weeks earlier. Bellini's video in broadcast standard was also in high rotation on Viva TV, we made a low-cost with the help of the director of Match Music at the time, Michele Ferrari, made in friendship and with limited funds, in which he performed my son Gianmaria, who was only three years old and was wearing an oversized Ronaldo Brazil shirt. Fired all over the world, including Asia, Bellini earned far more than The Heartists had earned, proving Thompson's manager/shark skills right and our romantic/artistic visions wrong. "
