- I'd Probably Give This 7 Stars if I Could
Os Mutantes were formed in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1965, and were the forerunners of the Brazillian culture phenomenon known as Tropicalia. But what is this Tropicalia you speak? Well Tropicalia was a cultural revolution in Brazil in the mid to late sixties which not only affected music, but all areas of the arts, giving pieces a more deeper meaning and giving its creators a reason to push the boundaries for what was possible.

There is no bigger example of the Tropicalia movement then Os Mutantes' debut in 1968, their self titled album is little known outside of Brazil, but I have had the album 4 weeks and I am absolutely smitten by it, which has left me thinking that if this was an English speaking album, this would probably be ...

- What are you doing wasting time reading this?
What do you mean, you don't already own this album? Quick, buy it now, pay for the extra quick delivery. Hurray, because there can't be another day in your life that you don't own this incredible record.

Actually, I envy you. You get to hear it for the first time and jump up and down with joy when you realise that music like this really did get made. If you've ever liked late Beatles, early Floyd, Brazilian samba and Californian sunshine pop and wondered what would happen if it were all thrown together...well, here it is.

One of my all time top 10 records. Enjoy, my friends. I'm certain you will.

- Ave Os Mutantes
It takes a connoisseur of psychedelic rock and pop to know of (drumroll please) Os Mutantes. This short-lived Brazilian band made some of the most memorable psychedelic pop of the 1960s -- which is really saying something, given the era that they thrived in. Call it psychetropicalia.

And their self-titled debut is probably the best work they ever did, without a single dud track. "Panis et Circenses" kicks things off with a horn solo, and then with a stretch of swooning acid-pop and some angelic-sounding voices. From there on, we get a fun, perky pop song laced with more horns, keyboards and wacky sound effects.

The stuff that follows is much in the same vein, from the buzzing and swooning keyboard splendor of "Baby," ... Read More:

- As Wacky as It Comes
There's no doubt the Mutants started off as a psychedelic band. They eventually turned to progressive rock (heard that story before somewhere). The thing is they seem to be equally brilliant at whatever they do. Their self-titled debut is no exception; not to be confused with the equally excellent, almost self-titled second album, Mutantes (without the `Os'). The closest comparison for me is Pink Floyd's Piper at the Gates of Dawn, with Rotary Connection's Aladdin bringing up the rear. But comparisons don't do much in this case because the Mutants are so original. With spaced-out yet melodic guitar and organ, crazy sound-effects aplenty and heavenly Brazilian vocals, it's definitely psych, but of a kind never heard before. Check it out...
