Os Mutantes. 2004 Polydor (1968) (CD). Another CD in my collection I had no recall of. I tend to be favorable to albums of historical significance. And that's where Os Mutantes scores marks in my book. I mean, a Sgt. Peppers type release from Sao Paolo in 1968 wasn't a common occurrence (in fact, it's generally considered the first rock release from Brazil). And that's where my praise ends. I don't really find this album all that great really, but it certainly makes up for a lot of shortcomings in spirit. Spouts of fuzz guitar never hurts either. Very much a period piece, I don't hear it anymore pleasurable than the St. Johns Green LP. (Mar)
Bobak, Jons, Malone - Motherlight. 2006 Air Mail (1969) (CD). Another quirky Morgan Blue Town release, closer to psych than prog, but no mistaking the progression. Whereas Pussy Plays took the first album Soft Machine approach, Motherlight had their ears glued more to Syd era Floyd, minus the lengthy instrumental bits. (Feb)
