As
is the case with all of Shadoks Music's Love, Peace & Poetry
compilations, Brazilian Psychedelic Music is an absolutely
essential purchase for fans of early psychedelic rock. Nineteen psych
tunes from the seventies and the late sixties are presented on this
disc, and they certainly have a sound of their own. Often political,
these songs take cues from the tropicalia movement just as much as
they do British psych trends, and the combination of styles makes for
a very interesting and original experience.
Os Lobos' "Miragem" is one of the most accessible
tracks on this album, featuring an irresistable Byrds-esque
sound, complete with jangly guitars and dreamy vocals (in Portugese). The
Buttons' "Birds in my Tree" is also lush and pleasant,
with those deliciously psychedelic modified vox. Meanwhile, Terço's
"Iagoa Das Lontras" takes things with a more acid-based
edge, and Hugo Filho's "Quero Você, Você" is psych
beyond belief.
Brazilian Psychedelic Music is yet another chapter in the
tremendously successful LP&P collection. Go out and snatch
it up.
