MUTANTES ALBUM POLL because my refrigerator is not working

Gotta be the first one. The opening one-two punch are reason alone.

I got the ones I have in this order:

2nd Album
Technicolor
1st Album.

The "Tech" is 'nice' versions of their stuff, in english. A bit disappointing. I love 1st, but not as much as 2nd.

Where to go now?

i like technicolor cause of all the ingles

I find the first two almost too mental to listen to; the guitars are fucking crazy, and he drums are worse, sound-wise. The songs and arrangements are awesome, but they convinced engineers to do some bloody horrendous things in the studio.

I'd pick the first Rita Lee solo album if it was on there; it's all the same personnel and recorded in 1972. As it's not... I'll plump for A Divina Comédia ou Ando Meio Desligado, I think. Jardim Elétrico and Mutantes e Seus Cometas no País do Baurets get a bad rep, though; they're both good albums and still pretty far out. I've not heard O A eo Z or Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol.

Just get A Divina Comedia. Deosn't really compare to the first two, but it's in the same spirit. Voted for the first album myself. For that aforementioned "opening one two punch" (make it a one two three with "O Relogio") and "Adeus Maria Fulo."
Their prog album is amusing (A to Z)

I seriously think that Rita Lee record is one of the best things I've ever heard, and does everything I wanted all the Os Mutantes albums proper to do but never quite got consistently from them.

Right, got a bid on ebay goin. Thanks!

Their prog album is amusing (A to Z)

they got yessed out! there are some really good tracks on those. but i voted for the second one.

has anyone seen their shell adverts? they are possibly the most nuts thing i have ever seen. i think it's divina comedia for me.

though the first one has sublime sad psych songs and the second one is rabid

havent spent enough time with all of them but i <3 he first one so much

the first one

second then first then third then fourth and that's all I've heard.

love divina comedia. ave lucifer is one of my faves.

The solo Rita Lee that I've heard is incredible. I've only heard the songs "Vamos Tratar da Saude" and "Amor a Moda." Would not mind hearing that first album at all.

That's the one I meant, Trip - I got confuzzled! Sorry.

I really like the production on technicolor, but the english vocals are trying. a bizarro greatest hits collection.

the cavaleiros negros ep from '76 is pretty awesome but I don't think that ever made it to cd.

mark have you heard gal costa's 1969 albums?

Os Mutantes for this at least

'Panis et Circenses'

I need to check that other stuff don't i? Starters?

second is my favorite, but the first three are all pretty flawless (except i dont like that one song where rita lee is copping janis).

the fourth is really fun, but definitely there are some moments where im like UH ok this is a little stupid

mark have you heard gal costa's 1969 albums?

No, but bear in mind I have 3 OsMut CDs bought over a 10? year period, I like to live with each for ages. And I have that 'new' RitaLee plus frieend one awaiting... But by all means, point me.

One of the Gal Costa self-titled albums was re-released by Dusty Groove a couple of weeks ago - the REALLY mad one with Tuareg on it - it's awesome. Seek out!

consider yerself pointed

gal 1969
http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=z93h6tk6t2

that should hold you over for 3-4 years

turaeg rules, is the rest like that?

for anyone on a rita lee kick, i'd say get the second one before the first (build up) which is very patchy

I'm not getting Build Up

It reminds me of that stuff I had to drink back in 1987 (8 stone, 6ft 1 persion so I was)

what?

Took a day for the aging brane to get the joke in the thread title.

The irony is, today we have a new refrigerator.

turaeg rules, is the rest like that?

depends what you mean. it's a crazy record. there's not another middle eastern type tune on it but there are plenty where gal works herself up into admirable vocal fits over wtf instrumentation.

that sounds fine to me. whats the other 1969 lp like?

it's good, but more traditional + melodic rather than weird + volcanic. it seems to be the more lauded of the two but the dusty grooves reissue of gal may cause that topic to be rethunk.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

WELL YOU BETTER GO CATCH IT

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Not surprising at all, but a little sad. The third one's the best!

first poll I've seen where results are in chronological order

Aye.

shocking results. the sixth and seventh albums have the best covers. and O 'A' E O 'Z' sounds like tropacalia yes instead of stereolab, still probably too ahead of its time

Ooh, they are all on Spotify!

A Divina Comédia wuz robbed!

Still don't have that one!

It’s not quite as Tropicalia as the first two but still of a similar high quality with plenty of great, classic songs.
