"You must take a look at the new land," Os Mutantes singer Rita Lee softly proclaims on Everything Is Possible!'s English-language rewrite of Caetano Veloso's "Baby." The Brazilian psychedelic-rock pioneers were addressing a hoped-for American-British audience, but they could also have been singing to their own country's political establishment, which didn't take kindly to the Tropicalia era's fusion of Beatles and Hendrix influences with elements of bossa nova and samba. The result continues to reverberate more than three decades later in the work of Beck, Stereolab, and Cibo Matto, not to mention on late-'90s reissues such as this. Full of beauty, self-mocking good humor, and a command of varied styles that Lennon and McCartney would've envied, this enticing music is every bit as fresh as it must've sounded to South American swingers back in the day. --Rickey Wright

5 out of 5 stars this is great stuff.......2007-02-07

for those who are not familiar with the music of Os Mutantes, this is a great CD to get, it is a "best of" compiliation. Combining elements of psychedelia, samba, bossa nova, and pop music, it all blends together very well. A great CD to listen to whle relaing a the end of the day.

4 out of 5 stars Trying to do the impossible.......2005-11-02

I have to give this collection 4 stars because it is the only easy way to get ahold of any Os Mutantes material. That being said, many of the most tripped out songs of Os Mutantes are left off of this collection, including Rita Lee, Top Top, Nao va se perder por ai, etc. Those who are looking for a good quick introduction to how great the music made in Brazil in the 70s are could use this as a good start. But then they should really get ahold of their albums, including Mutantes, Os Mutantes, and Jardim Electrico.

4 out of 5 stars World of Os Mutantes.......2005-03-29

It takes a connoisseur of psychedelic rock and pop to know of (drumroll please) Os Mutantes. This short-lived Brazilian band made some of the most memorable psychedelic pop of the 1960s -- which is really saying something. Some of their best work is compiled in "World Psyschedelic Classics 1," although there are some glaring omissions.

This collection brings together many of the band's best songs, such as the understated charm of "Panis et Circenses," the buzzing and swooning keyboard splendor of "Baby," and the cluttered catchiness of "Bat Macumbia." Rooted in Brazilian tropicalia, the music has quite a few quirks and twists, but surprisingly it never becomes too weird to alienate listeners.

Os Mutantes was initially formed by Arnaldo and Sergio Baptista, who later added Rita Lee and their brother Claudio. Though the band didn't last very long, they developed a reputation for twiddling with basic Brazilian pop -- while they stayed happy and accessable, they also added in distortion, feedback, and other sound experiments. It sounds fun, doesn't it?

And actually, it is a lot of fun. The trippy bossa nova/psychedelic rock/catchy pop isn't as heavy as it sounds, but instead goes for a light, playful, deeply stoned vibe. Eerie flutes and jungle drums -- as in the eerie "Premier Bonheur du Jour" -- get mixed in with solid guitar riffs and smooth keyboards. Those tradition instruments ground what could have been just another psychedelic band. It's gloriously catchy, and incredibly infectious.

The one flaw? Lesser-known albums like "Jardim Electro" and "Mutantes" are underrepresented in the selection of songs. Their first album, the self-titled "Os Mutantes" -- also probably their best ever -- is strongly emphasized. However, if you are looking for an excellent individual listen and not a representation of all their albums, then this is a very good find.

Few of the Os Mutantes albums are currently available in the U.S., which would make this the ideal introduction by default. But "World Psychedelic Classics 1" is a fairly good introduction to the band in its own right.

5 out of 5 stars Great brazil, great 60`s. You cant ask for much more.......2005-01-08

I really havent heard anything alse of this group, just some kazaa tracks but it isnt enough. THIS GROUP IS GREAT!!!!!!!!! Rita Lee at top of her form, rather strange experiments, but it sounds great. Its a shame that there arent more mutantes albums. This album might as well be really short (it only last 45 minutes and its a "greatest hits". it should have more music) but its a great introduction to the group. The best of the best: Ando meio desligado, cantor de mambo and PAnis et circenses. And of course, its a crime to forget Dia 36 (a guitar throwing up: you just have to hear it) and of course the very best version of the song baby, so wasted by caetano veloso. if u like experimental music, south american music and/or the swinging sixties, listen to this album

4 out of 5 stars One good Byrne deserves another, but..........2004-01-30

One of the more unfortunate recent cultural events was the titling of the Terry Gilliam movie *Brazil*, otherwise edifying enough. And the real problem with having such a product (which takes up as much space in many people's *espaces mentaux* as that country itself) is that it interferes with recognition of that country's very live cultural reality, and that this cultural reality is *in some ways* not unlike that of *Brazil* due to the 1968 AI-5 act, with which the ruling military government banned political discourse. Although there is a new biography available from one of the best-known figures of this period, Caetano Veloso, this anthology for Os Mutantes is a *revelatory* item.

Compiled by David Byrne for his purist Luaka Bop label, this CD collects songs from all through Os Mutantes' career: it includes early recordings of songs from Veloso and Jorge Ben, but also the Mutantes' later attempts to record relevant yet saleable material (including songs in "Portunhol", a mixture of Spanish and Portuguese). Robert Christgau is concerned that *estadouidenses* will not be able to follow the sounds of the Tropicalia period, but "in this time of melding cultures" this is actually one of the more challenging (yet feasible) of such tasks. The Mutantes (do a little math) do not possess an "exoticist" mien: they present an alternate and "problematized" modernity, one which was *always* intended for export.

And perhaps one of Beck's much-hyped returns to non-form, on *Mutations*, owes as much to the mindset of that period as its conflicted relationship with the native sounds of Bahia: such that musicians who have not yet troubled to pick a Mutantes record up may be even more interested than this early revivalist conformance allows (Omplatten has since released all the early records at reasonably affordable prices).

5 out of 5 stars Shockingly great music.......2003-02-27

A couple of years ago, I bought the second Nuggets box set, the one that features psychedelic '60's music from outside of the U.S.A. (the first set was almost exclusively American). Anyhow, one of the songs on that second set was an odd tune called "Bat Macumba" by a strange Brazilian group called "Os Mutantes" ("The Mutants"). I liked the song right away, but as I listened to it a few times, it really began to get under my skin. When I got a chance to hear more from this band (via this album, "Everything is Possible"), I realized that "Bat Macumba" was not a fluke.

To be a little less indirect, Os Mutantes made some of the most daring, exciting, off-the-wall-and-yet-surprisingly-listenable music I've ever heard. Discovering this music was for me one of those truly mind-expanding, change-your-life kind of events. It actually makes me want to learn Portuguese in the same way that Dostoyevsky made me want to learn Russian. It's also opened my ears to Tropicalia, a style I was never really aware of before, but which I am now beginning to explore.

I should warn the prospective listener that this stuff is pretty wierd. In fact, if I understand it correctly, wierdness for wierdness' sake (or perhaps for creativity's sake) was a big part of what Tropicalia was all about. But if you can stand the wiredness, and listen with an open mind and open ears, Os Mutantes' music is very, very rewarding. This album (on which there is not a single bad song, by the way) is a good place to start, if only because it's still in print. It might also give you an introductory glance into a whole movement (and a whole culture) of which you may have known little.

3 out of 5 stars Only One Side of the Story.......2003-02-13

I feel guilty giving this release only three stars. Let's face it, the Mutantes were a great band, but this is only a so-so compilation. It only gives you a small piece of the big picture. For one thing, like Luaka Bop's compilation of Tom Ze, it tends to over-concentrate on one album (in this case the Mutantes first). This leaves little room for songs from their other (very good) albums, most notably their second album, Mutantes, and their fourth album, Jardim Electrico. Hoje e o primeiro dia del resto de sua vida (?), a Mutantes album in all but name, is criminally unrepresented.

Secondly, the compilers definitely have a bias towards the poppier end of the Mutantes' musical spectrum. There's very little guitar pyrotechics here except on the parodic Cantor de Mambo (Mutantes roast Santana) and Bat Macumba. Believe me, the Mutantes could really play. To hear "Baby" without it being preceded by the rock guitar excess of "Sarava" is really disappointing. The Mutantes took part in one of the greatest musical revolutions in the history of pop music, Tropicalia. Like other musicians who took part in this movement, such as Caetano Veloso, Gil Gilberto, Gal Costa and Tom Ze. The Mutantes cleverly played with musical forms, laughed at rock/art pretension, took apart and recombined elements of pop, rock, jazz, psychedelia, folk, bossa nova, classical music, etc. You don't get the same sense of fun from the song selection on this CD.
Call me a crazy fan, but I whole-heartedly recommend every Mutantes album, most particularly Os Mutantes (the first), Mutantes (the second) and Jardim Electrico. Anyone who loves the fun-filled musical explorations of sixties music will love this band. (And anyone who doesn't is a stick in the mud, old fuddy-duddy.)

4 out of 5 stars Legal!.......2002-05-25

Worth a listen, if only for the beautiful 'Fuga #II' - a tune that Paul McCartney would have been proud to have written.

The other standouts are 'Baby' and 'Panis et Circenses' - one of the most catchy songs ever written.

INSTRUMENTAL!! Don't expect vocals. Other than that, it is a nice collection.

4 out of 5 stars Enjoyable by itself.......2000-03-30

The music is beautiful just for listening. The first CD could be used in a wedding. The 2nd CD contains instrumental versions of the songs which is soothing and peaceful; it could also be used in a wedding, but not for a reception. I did not buy this to use in a wedding - just for the music and I was not disappointed. It's a nice background for meditation, or remembering your own wedding. I just bought a second one for some friends who are getting married. And the price is right.

2 out of 5 stars Classical CD is great, but the other one is horrible........1999-11-17

The first CD is filled with popular classic wedding songs and is really good, but the last CD is music that would make your guests think they were trapped in an elevator filled with easy listening music. I cannot understand why someone would compile those songs for a wedding!

5 out of 5 stars Silence please!.......2006-08-30

My only reason for buying this CD is the track 4:33 by Frank Zappa. 4:33 minutes of total silence, well almost total silence because you can hear a little background noices in the control room of Frank. It is a very interesting cd. But if you are not a fan of Zappa or Cage, and you like to hear music I say: buy something else. If you are ready for an experiment: buy this one or the CD Roaratorio.

5 out of 5 stars Georgia Stone the best antiwar composition to date.......2002-12-15

The whole collection is interesting. However, the great moment of this collection is the Ono contribution Georgia Stone. It's a fluxus symphony. Never have I heard a more poignant antiwar piece. It rates in power and beauty to Henryk Gorecki's Symphony #3 with soprano Dawn Upshaw. If anyone ever doubted the genius of Yoko Ono as being relevant and an artist of the highest calibre then listen to this masterpiece and you'll be jolted into her energy as an artist. Yoko, give us more of this kind of music.

5 out of 5 stars unknown..but i'm real excited.......2001-06-05

Jspark wrote a review that totally grabbed my intrest..I did my senior art history project on John Cage..using random sheets of paper for the lecture. the idea of hitting the "random button" is a great idea..and the idea of running two disks at once is even neater..being a big fan of just about everybody on the cd..especially Laurie Anderson doesnt hurt either... I haven't heard it yet, but i think i'll be sticking with the 5 star rating.

5 out of 5 stars What? 183 tracks? What for? There is a reason..........1999-08-03

It might be bewildering at first. The first disc has 98 tracks; the second, 85. If you listen straight through, you do not perceive any discontinuity. A collection of John Cage pieces performed by friends, collegues, and admirers. Frank Zappa (American composer [complete biographical blurb that he provided]) contributed 4'33". Laurie Anderson tells a few Merce Cunningham tales. Seems like a fun tribute from the git-go. But wait! (And this is where the fun begins!) Switch your CD player to the shuffle (random) mode. Now look what happens. It goes from, say, Yoko Ono's piece to the Kronos to the Moraz prepared piano performance to Ken Nordine's narration - all in the matter of seconds. It is a great to homage to Cage himself with the great use of the random chance operations that he might have enjoyed. Every performance of this disc becomes a unique experience (just like Cage). For even more fun, try playing both discs at the same time (provided, of course, you have the means; if not, improvise). Or add another sound source as well, like, say, the radio, or the television very low, or a tape of white noise. The possibilities are endless. I had the pleasure of trying this one day with FOUR players going on simulataneously: two with these discs, another with Miles Davis far in the background, the fourth with a disc of bird calls. It was quite a fun sound environment and I would not hesitate to try it again. But that was my experience. Your experience may be different.

4 out of 5 stars Very Interesting.......2004-11-25

This record was performed live at a festival, giving an interesting example of how electronic music is performed live. Overall, it is not as good as her other releases, though it is extremely innovative and inspiring. There is much more instumental work on this record than on her other projects. If you like this release, be sure to check out her work in Laub. Even more importantly, check out her incredible album "Westernization Completed," possibly the best record I have ever heard. This record is not nearly as good as "Westernization Completed," but it does show agf's brilliance as a producer.

      Album Description

      The "Still" EP is five remixes (inlcuding the album mix) of the song "Still", off the full length Frosted Mini Wheats (upcoming). This EP is beautiful because Still is a beautiful, ethereal song with choral vocals and a pretty piano melody, but it's also historic, 'cause it's the first Third Option song involving the CyberPoet Tamara Nicholl.

      If you're searching for something out-of-the-ordinary, or would just like to know what Third Option has to offer, check this out. The mixes are awesome, and the lyrics are great. I'm a little biased, because I know the artists personally, but I promise they don't know I'm writing this review. I'M ESTATIC that I found their album [here]. Just released is "Cult of Nice" which can be ordered online at [another website]or here, soon, I'm sure. Enjoy the music!!!!

      5 out of 5 stars Third Option Delivers.......2001-07-12

      This is an amazing recording. A fusion of techno and classical and spoken word. I have not heard anything like it. I can't wait to hear more stuff from them.

      Album Description

      Mother Tongue is like nothing you've heard. Its startling songs break the mold of accepted pop musical structure, yet they sound like... standards. If you're looking for lyrics about cars and purple romances, look elsewhere. If you expect verse-chorus-bridge arrangements, forget it.

      Sung in a language unknown to the human race…but known to your inner self, "Mother Tongue" delivers us to a place of "Enhancement".

      Backed by virtuoso guitarist Alex de Rafols, (with Guest Appearances by Alain Johannes and Natasha Schneider of the band ELEVEN) and the multi-cultural percussion sensibilities of Andrew Mills, Janubia sings melodies that speak volumes about the human condition without uttering a single recognizable word. Some fans claim it's Portuguese, others an Arabic or Nordic or Oriental tongue. We don't know what it is, except that it sounds terrific! Some claim to know what the songs are about, what they "emote," and, interestingly, many listeners glean the same imagery.

      No matter what your mood, you'll find yourself pressing the "Play" button once again after you've finished the last song.

      5 out of 5 stars Janubia, an ancient soul reincarnate sings again!.......2005-01-17

      WOW, what energy! WOW, what originality, Wow, I'm hooked! Janubia
      sings with passion from an ancient soul reincarnate after eons of millenniums. If I had to wager a guess, I would say that Janubia is singing both in the tongues of angels and the ancient esoteric language of the lost civilization, Atlantis.

      Although this CD is classified in the World genre, tracks 1,6 and 8 are easy crossovers for smooth jazz fusion airplay. The fantastic guitar work and harmonizing vocals of Janubia lifts and enlightens the soul. Mother Tongue is a classic and a must have CD.

      5 out of 5 stars I HEART Janubia!.......2004-11-11

      Janubia is amazing. Her LOVELY, sweet voice mixed with the guitar stylings of Alex de Rafols is the best thing I've heard since...ANYTHING. It is sooo unique, hippy, coooool...and she is the nicest person...always willing to talk to her fans on her forum. this girl is GOING places. Plus...SHE IS SOOOOO GORGEOUS!!

      5 out of 5 stars my thoughts........2004-11-10

      Music so powerfull it grabs you by the balls, smacks you into the wall leaving you a curled up whimpering mass concerned only with praising the glory that is, in fact, this music!

      5 out of 5 stars Janubia's voice is unbelievable - boundless!.......2004-11-03

      I couldn't believe her voice when I heard it! Such a gift. This album has everything!
      It's what music should be. So good. A voice like hers only comes along once in awhile and this album is not one to be missed. I loved it enough to post this! If everyone had a Janubia
      Mother Tongue album there would be more happy people in this world. :)

      5 out of 5 stars A must buy! You won't quit listening to it!.......2004-11-03

      Just got Janubia's Mother Tongue today and could not believe how moving every song is. This album rocks and the fact that it is in her own language (one not known to man)is even more amazing.

      The music is done to perfection and the rhythms make your body smile & move. The songs are so universal - you understand and feel each one in your own way.
      This is the trendiest album out there and the best buy for all no matter what genre of music you love - Janubia's Mother Tongue feels the gap and keeps you wanting more.
      I even checked out www.janubia.com to find out more about this artist. FASCINATING ALL AROUND!
      Made my Christmas shopping a breeze!
      Get it- you'll love it!!!

      p.s I have it playing right now....10 hours later!
