The finest from these mind-bendingly original Brazilians.

We Say...
The great Brazilian band, Os Mutantes (the Mutants), created a psychedelic swirl of a sound, drawing freely on bits and pieces of the Beatles, Country Joe & the Fish, the Fifth Dimension, samba, Tropicalia and whatever else was on the radio, in the air or in the hookah in the halcyon days of 1968. Led by the lovely and pixilated Rita Lee Jones and fueled by the wonderfully warped magpie instincts of brothers Arnaldo and Sergio Baptista, Os Mutantes were a cargo cult, crafting a fully formed universe from the shards and splinters of pop music that washed up in their backyard. For better or worse, usually for better, they were equal-opportunity thieves, as likely to rescue a great hook or bass line from a Herman’s Hermits’ 45 as they were to pilfer a riff from Santana or Hendrix. And in the process they created a mind-bendingly original sound that is both timeless and driven by the '60s ideal of possibilities, resources, time and love all being boundless and never-ending.

They Say...
The first major-label release of Mutantes material was this 1999 compilation, put together by longtime Brazilian fan David Byrne through his Luaka Bop label. Including tracks from the band's late-'60s and early-'70s LPs (available separately through Omplatten), Everything Is Possible is a solid collection that only includes 14 tracks but does spotlight Mutantes' tremendous diversity. From the birth of tropicalia on their first album from 1968 (wildly experimental pop songs like "Panis Et Circenses" and "Bat Macumba") plus their later, more straight-ahead incarnations, the album gives beginners a solid place to start. The inclusion of both versions of the rather tiresome Janis Joplin retread "Baby" is a bit regrettable, but all around, Everything Is Possible gets it right better than could be hoped from a domestic compilation.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
