Os Mutantes (The Mutants) were one of the first psychedelic bands to emerge from Brazil. Their first 3 albums are all considered important late 60's albums, but this, their first, is considered to be the most 'important', as it is one of the beginning marks of 'Tropicalia'. This was reissued on a hip US label about 5 years ago, but it is now out of print in most countries, and we are one of the few shops to be able to offer this for less than $40.00 (look for it on Amazon to see what I mean!). "Tropicalia upstarts Os Mutantes's 1968 debut is one of the most playful rock records of its time--and given that it arrived in the year of the "White Album" and We're Only in It for the Money, that's really saying something. Screaming acid-rock guitars, quick-cut rhythmic shifts, sound effects, jazzy vocal harmonies, and a giddy nod to "Peppermint Twist" all have their places here. When one member loudly slurps to punctuate a line about ice cream, it's a moment that defines a movement's whole giddy aesthetic."-Rickey Wright/Amazon [Polydor]
