Product Description This Brazilian classic finally gets a proper US release one of the greatest psychedelic albums of the late 60s, and a key part of the Tropicalia movement as well! The record is easily the most tripped-out album ever from Gal Costa far more sinister than Gal's debut of a few months before. The session was still recorded with full arrangements by the legendary Rogerio Duprat (who'd worked previously with Costa, Os Mutantes, and others), but it also features a lot heavier guitar and a blazingly psychedelic feel overall. Gal's usually-sweet vocals take on a much sharper edge and the album's awash in the political power and cultural experimentation that characterized the best years of Tropicalia. Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil make a guest appearance, and also contribute some songs to the set as do Jorge Ben, Jards Macale, and Roberto & Erasmo Carlos. First time on CD in the US and newly remastered, with liner notes from Chris Dunn, author of Brutality Garden: Tropicalia & The Emergence Of A Brazilian Counterculture. Features the famous tracks 'Tuareg', 'Cinema Olympia', and 'Meu Nome E Gal'. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsBrazilian psychedelic classic Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 11/02/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Gal Costa "Gal" (1969) The second solo album by Brazilian superstar Gal Costa, this is one of the purest. loudest expressions of the late-1960s "tropicalia" scene, with clanging electric guitars, and crazed vocals that were unlike much of Costa's later, croonier career. Fabled avant-classical composer-arranger Rogerio Duprat adds his eclectic touch, and Gal gets wild like she seldom did in later years. Anyone wanting to check out how psychedelic music entered into Brazilian rock and pop will definitely want to check this one out. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Brazilian Music Guide)" A musical tour de force! Lee Blair | West Orange, NJ USA | 03/26/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "This effort from one of Brazil's greatest singers is hands down an outstanding example of psychedelica viewed from a Brazilian eye. The movement became known as Tropicalia, and the music is excellent. This is a re-release of an album from 1969. There is no comparison between this work and the music of today. And that is a real shame." Classic William R. Nicholas | Mahwah, NJ USA | 01/08/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Tropicalia at its finest. When Brizil was under dictatorship, musical superheros like Gal Costa did not blink. They made psychadelic music as true outlaws.
This CD contains lots of top grade Brizilian music, but goes way beyond, into psychadelic and the avant gaurd. The synergy never seems forced, and provides a iron strong thread that runs through this amazing album This is music from the soul, made under fire, and no one, no one, should miss it." |
