Music reviews of Everything Is Possible: The Best of Os Mutantes
Music Review: Psychedelic weirdness of the highest sort
Rating: 5 Stars
The other reviews given with this album are confusing, as "Mutantes" is not a compilation. It is Os Mutantes' second studio album, released in early 1969. I've never really liked compilations, preferring studio albums in their entirety, just as they were originally released. That's what you're getting here, and "Mutantes" is from the PRIME era for this weird band.
Of the three classic psychedelic-era Mutantes albums: "Os Mutantes," "Mutantes," and "A Divina Comedia..." this second album could be described as both the weirdest and the most playful. It is harder to get into than the classic debut album, yet over the long run I have found myself listening to it more.
The moods and atmospheres on the album change frequently and suddenly. It may sound fragmented to the new listener. Yet if you give yourself time to take it in, you will discover that there is a flow to it. The album makes sense, just not on the level you may have initially expected it to. I found myself disappointed and confused the first time I listened to it... But later I "got it" and the album has sounded amazing to me ever since.
If the music of the late 60s means something to you, this album is required in your collection. I consider it one of the best psychedelic albums ever, bar none. That is not praise that I would just casually throw out there. Listen to the album! It speaks for itself better than I could ever speak for it.
Description of Everything Is Possible: The Best of Os Mutantes
Os Mutantes were the Pioneer Brazilian Psychedelic Band in the Late 60's. Compiled by David Byrne from the Remastered Original Tapes."You must take a look at the new land," Os Mutantes singer Rita Lee softly proclaims on Everything Is Possible!'s English-language rewrite of Caetano Veloso's "Baby." The Brazilian psychedelic-rock pioneers were addressing a hoped-for American-British audience, but they could also have been singing to their own country's political establishment, which didn't take kindly to the Tropicalia era's fusion of Beatles and Hendrix influences with elements of bossa nova and samba. The result continues to reverberate more than three decades later in the work of Beck, Stereolab, and Cibo Matto, not to mention on late-'90s reissues such as this. Full of beauty, self-mocking good humor, and a command of varied styles that Lennon and McCartney would've envied, this enticing music is every bit as fresh as it must've sounded to South American swingers back in the day. --Rickey Wright
