    this sentance pretty much sums up soulstrut's backwards ass take on modern music overall

    I only have the second Gal LP with the psych cover, and even though I think that she really can't sing at all and the musicians try to play badly on purpose, it's still a completely unique listening experience.

    Well, opinions are opinions of course. But she somehow brings to my mind a hippie chick who dropped some acid and thought she could sing . It appeals more to my sense of punk esthetics than it does musically. I'm not hating, the record is definitely good shit.

    if that's your impression of her, you need to listen to more of her work. may i suggest:
    or...

    or hell, start with this:

    she actually has a beautiful voice...

    I didn't mean that towards you per se, it was posted in good faith... but Gal can sing, she sounds trippy hippy on that record because ... uh... it's a psych freakout.. and her best work is NOT the funky stuff.

    Has anyone heard the new Gal album "Hoje" ("Today")? It came out a month or so ago. It's on Trama, a big Brazilian indie label better known for releasing young artists, and it's arranged by Cesar Carmago Mariano. Seems like it could be really hot.

    I'm sorry for embarassing myself, but I made the judgement on that record and nothing else. On that[/b] record, it sounds like she can't sing. No need to take it personally. I am not one of those people who like it only when it's funky, and do not appreciate being called out as such.

    No worries dude.

    I am not taking it personally but you should probably reserve judgment on one of the more prolific Brazilian singers if all you've heard is one album.

    Like i said before, her best work is not on that record, I actually don't really like that record at all, I would check the s/t (first pictured), and Domingo, her live double is great as is La India. To me, and this may upset mutantes fans, but her version of "Baby" is the best one.

    but i have to say my favorite of her LPs, nudging out 'India' by a thread, is:

    For real, now I know better, and will check more of her music. Actually, I would have checked more of it before, but they are a bit hard to come by in the places where I'm usually located
  • Jonny_PaycheckJonny_Paycheck 17,825 Posts
    Yeah dude they are hard to come by if your location is not "brazil" or at least "argentina". I would just ask around for a reputable brazilian seller and take the plunge on ebay.

    [reynaldo]if you buy the records mentioned and do not like them as much as I say you should, I will buy them back from you.[/reynaldo]

    Now that I think about it, I actually do have a dealer back home in Finland. Dude has hooked me up with some amazing Brazilian shit before including that one Gal that I have and some other shit.
