The latest in FAR OUT's reissue series, which keeps delivering acclaimed 180g heavyweight LP reissues of essential Azymuth-related works and hidden treasures: FORDIS03 follows up volume 2 with the first-ever worldwide vinyl reissue, in a limited edition, of the 1974 masterpiece debut album by BAIANO & OS NOVOS CAETANOS — the duo of Brazilian musicians/comedians/TV personalities Chico Anysio and Arnaud Rodrigues, who formed and recorded it with full participation from Azymuth!!! Wonderful. Sound quality and volume are spot on, too — 180g heavyweight LP, 11 tracks in all.
Linked to and in tune with the Tropicália movement of the 1970s, this is a killer rare-groove masterpiece of folky psychedelic rock meets Brazilian MPB, samba, soul and funk, packed with unique ideas in the vein of Os Mutantes and Tom Zé. Traditional Brazilian rhythm ensembles augmented with harmonica, accordion and brass, plus a thrilling deep-jungle atmosphere. Loaded with great songs. Fine work from FAR OUT. Check out the tracklist as well. The pseudo-live format and the way the six tracks on side A flow together make for a great, stunning ride. Recommended alongside 1975's "Azmbuja & Cia."
