Music reviews of OS MUTANTES - OS MUTANTES (RMST)
Music Review: More like 4.5 stars- Psychedelic madness from South America
Rating: 4 Stars
Os Mutantes were a bunch of crazy fellers (and one fellerette) who blasted their way out of Sao Paulo with this, their 1968 debut album. Their sound (influenced by Brazil's "Tropicalia" movement, which combined traditional art forms with modern European ans American ones) was an intoxicating mixture of rock, psyhedelia, bossa nova, and whatever else the group could get its hands on. It was a crazy, energetic sound, drenched in psychotic fuzz guitars, galloping rhythms, freaked-out keyboards, sunbaked vocals, and wonky horn sections that bounce in and out of the mix with admirable abandon. It's a mixture that promises an insane good time, and on the best tracks here, that's exactly what it delivers: "Panis Et Circensis" opens the album with some blasting horns and a delerious, infectious melody. "A Minha Menina" is pure laid-back insanity, an irresistable blast of sunsplashed vocals, rumbling conga(-like objet)s , and an unpreidentedly catchy buzzing guitar. A rollicking good time. There's also "Bat Macumba," an all-out pounder with some of the coolest guitars, EVER. "Baby" is a sensual, lopsided ballad, and "Ave Genghis Kahn" is as wigged-out as anything early Pink Floyd ever did.
Unfortunatly, not everything on the album is as mind-blowing as those five. "Senhor F" and "O Reloio," although they meet their requisite craziness quota, are largely forgettable. The album also begins to drag towards the end, with "Le Premier Bonheur Du Jour" and "Tempo No Tempo" not rising to the standards set by the best songs here. The dreamy "Trem Fantasma" is a little better, but it still manages to overstay its welcome by a couple of minutes.
Still, even the worst songs here still have something going for them, and the sound of the album is so unique that it's refreshing to hear it in any form. Connoisseurs of psyched out rock and "world music" (gosh, I hat that term) would do well to chek this out.
