1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die - #112. Os Mutantes - Os Mutantes (1968)
Os Mutantes - Os Mutantes
Label – Polydor
Producer – Manoel Barenbein
Art Direction – Pedroy
Nationality – Brazil
Running Time – 35:59
Track Listing (standout tracks listed in bold)
1. Panis Et Circensis
2. A Minha Menina
3. O Relogio
4. Adeus Maria Fulo
5. Baby
6. Senhor F
7. Bat Macumba
8. Le Premier Bonheur Du Jour
9. Trem Fantasma
10. Tempo Perdido (Once Was A Time I Thought)
11. Ave Genghis Khan
So I have read that this – Os Mutantes debut album, is far and away their best. If that is the case, I don’t EVER want to hear any of their other works. Os Mutantes were at the forefront of Brazilian music at the time and their music is described as “a wildly inventive trip that assimilates orchestral pop, whimsical psychedelia, musique concrète, found-sound environments” it’s actually best described as just dreadful. To be fair, I know little to nothing about Brazilian music and I’m sure this is just not my cup of tea as well and pop/rock music listeners are sure to have a hard time finding the hooks in the songs because of the big emphasis on rhythm that is put onto the tracks through Samba drums.
There's just a lot of weirdness going on and it’s just not very well done. There is also the element of weirdness for the non-Portuguese Speaking audience, because I can't understand the lyrics at all. My understanding is that they actually are little more than drug-addled phrases used primarily for their sound than any actual meaning. .
Although they met with limited success during their own time, many contemporary underground or independent bands in the United States and Europe cite Os Mutantes as a major influence. Kurt Cobain publicly requested a reunion tour from the trio in 1993. Talking Heads frontman David Byrne has worked to publish and promote the group's back catalog through his own Luaka Bop label.
This debut record appears at number 9 on Rolling Stone's list of 100 greatest Brazilian albums of all time- but it is however not recommended.

Quick Bits (Mini Reviews Of New Releases)
Ace Frehley – Anomoly
Ace Frehley took 20 years to finish "Anomaly," his fourth solo studio album and first since 1989's "Trouble Walkin' " It was worth the wait. With rockers like “Foxy And Free," and "Outer Space" opening the record you know your in for a wild ride. There is a cover of Sweet's 1970s hit "Fox On The Run" that just doesn’t hit it’s mark, but other then that the record is a strong one from start to finish. "Space Bear," is just a beast of a track and is one of three instrumentals on the disc along with another part of the “Fractured” series on instrumentals. "Anomaly" clearly shows why Ace Frehley is considered one of the most influential guitarists in rock and roll history. Standout tracks: Foxy And Free, Space Bear, Outer Space.
KISS – Sonic Boom
Sonic Boom is the album KISS fans have been waiting for all these years. Its no-frills production, fist-in-the-air rock anthems, it is an album as raw and vital as the best of KISS' back catalog. The thing that sets this record from KISS' later studio efforts is that it has a band identity. No pop songs from slick outside writers, and no outside musicians other then the members of KISS. This was written and performed by the members of KISS. It has all of the hallmarks of a classic KISS record; heavy guitar riffs, powerful rock drumming, strong bass lines, and lyrical, well-crafted guitar solos. "Yes I Know" and "Hot And Cold" and especially “I’m An Animal” contain some of Gene Simmons' best work in decades. As for Tommy Thayer, his stylings, tone and phrasing will have some fans wondering what year it is. Paul Stanley and Eric Singer round out the album's classic performances with contributions that are perfectly suited to each track. KISS is shamelessly pandering to a particular demographic base by tailor-making a record to fit its needs. More bands should bother to make great records that their fans will actually like and I can't imagine any KISS fan not liking Sonic Boom. Standout tracks: I’m An Animal; Yes I Know; Stand
1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die - #111. Ravi Shankar - The Sounds Of India
Ravi Shankar - The Sounds Of India
Label – Columbia
Producer – Uncredited
Art Direction – Uncredited
Nationality – India
Running Time – 53:40
Track Listing (standout tracks listed in bold)
1. Introduction to Indian Music
2. Dâdrâ
3. Maru Bihag
4. Bhimpalasi
5. Sindhi-Bhairavi
An interesting record to say the least . It is one of Ravi Shankar’s earliest works and was created specifically for the “West”. The record is an attempt to teach those that were curious “western listeners” about the beauty – if not the complexity - of Indian music and basically tried to tell the listener what is going on!
There are four ‘ragas’ performed, Maru-Bihag, Bhimpalasi, Sindhi-Bhairavi, and Pancham-se-Gara, which is played during the piece titled "Dadra," which is actually a ‘tala’. Confused? Well, throughout the album there are short lessons in the forms and techniques given by Shankar himself before the various pieces are then performed. If you are looking for a pure Indian music record, you should then perhaps pass no this one. This is more of a historical document of both Shankar's amazing abilities, as well as his love of spreading the word for his music and teaching others. If you were thinking of delving into some of Ravi’s other works – this may be the best place to start just to help you understand what is going on in the music. This music is popular in the “West” mainly because Ravi Shankar taught George Harrison and, mainly through the Beatles, brought Indian Music to the West. And by all accounts Shankar is definitely the master of ragas, his technical prowess and improvisational capacity is astounding.
The first track is composed of Ravi Shankar explaining the music, and at the beggining of each track he gives a little introduction of what each track is and how it is structured. Not terribly entertaining, but educational. For that reason alone it is recommended.
