    If you're coming from a Mutantes perspective, check for anything with arrangements by Rogerio Duprat.

    I enthusiastically second the Laghonia and We All Together suggestions and add Limonada along similar lines.

    The Discos Mariposa CD label has good taste in their reissues. Ronnie Von and O Bando will be of particular interest to Mutantes fans.

    This one and that other of theirs is dope!

    I also kind of like that Aguaturbia record, only have mp3s.

    Brazilian psych is almost almost[/b] as bad as English psych. English psych is just the straight up doo-doo-on-a-stick. That early King Crimson shit and stuff is just plain embarrassing. Whenever I hear it, I get the mental image of these people prancing around dressed in midievel tights and hats sprinkling there psychedelic pixie dust. Anyway, that Duprat shit is just straight-up boring. Its just a bunch of cacaphonous noise that has way to many changes to it. If you ask me, and even if you dont, I always thought the only good psych was that of the early San Francisco bands like the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, the Airplane, Country Joe, Big Brother, etc. At least that shit is musical.

    the spelling and grammar in this post is so pathetic I think it qualifies as "rant."

    By "musical" I take it you mean melodic and uncomplicated?

    I'm guessing you haven't heard Duprat's stuff with Nara Leao. It's some of the gentlest, prettiest music imaginable.

    Bingo.


    I'm not a big Nara fan either, she's a little too subdued for the saba-man.

    Okay... to me "noisy and cacaphonous" are not synonymous with "boring" -- but I also wanted to point out that only a small portion of Duprat's work can really be termed "noisy and cacaphonous."

    nah i'm just curious. i can name names all day long from Almendra to Ze Ramalho, but the self titled Mutantes is my favourite, what can i do? maybe that's not deep enough for you but good enough for me.....

    i dislike both[/b] noisy and cacaphonous and[/b] quiet and boring. i didn't say they were the same thing. How about this, I think Duprat, regardless of whether the work is noisy and cacaphonous or not is "over-orchestrated."

    just my opnion, i know a lot of people like brazilian psych and they obviously pay a lot of money for it. like the way people will pay $125 for a pair of slacks from the GAP.

    No offense but if King Crimson are the reason you dislike English psych then you really ought to listen to more English psych before you cast such sweeping judgements.

    Some of it is bad and boring, and some of it is just incredible. i dont understand whats not musical about duprat though. how many albums did you listen to that were produced by him?

    i just cited them as a particularly egregious example.

    The O Bando and Os Brazoes records are my favorite South American psych LPs(of the ones I have heard) The O Bando is so good, its a shame they got lost in the shadow of Os Mutantes...and as far as S.A. psych icons go...Lany Gordin is that dude...

    Those are both great although I don't own O Bando yet... yet! My favorite in the collection is Liverpool - Por Favor Successos. Very similar to Os Brazoes.
