Gal Costa - Gal [1969]

Wow, this is amazing.
Coming from DHint's recommendation, this might be the coolest piece of psychedelia I hadn't heard before. I honestly have a hard time believing that this is from 1969.


The fuzziest, wahiest guitars jump in and out from the driving drums and delayed vocals, while woodwinds and tight percussion keep it all grounded in Tropicalia.

Goddamn, this's been a fun genre to explore.

    Radical!
    Checking them both out!

  3. You should start from the very beginning: "Tropicália - Ou Panis Et Circensis". Check it out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropic%C3%A1lia:_ou_Panis_et_Circencis
    and download it http://www.mediafire.com/?inc3o6pksxpm6vm
    Try also Os Mutantes albuns from 1968 to 1972.
    Have fun!

    Goddammit, the fucking perfect albums don't stop. And "Ou Panis Et Circensis" has fucking everyone I like on it.
    I'm loving it all. You're all great for sharing your favorites.
    What could we do to make this site more sharing-friendly? I love when it becomes more than a "here's some music I like" type of exchange, 'cause WFLM has some supremely knowledgeable readers.
    Suggestions?
