\"\"Brazilian Post-Punk 1982-1988<\/em>
\nMan Recordings, 2005<\/p>\n

This excellent compilation came out a few years back when Brazilian rock was hot stuff in the indie world, as evidenced by the resurrection of legendary rockers Mercenarias<\/strong> and Os Mutantes<\/strong>, and top-notch collections from the Soul-Jazz<\/a> label like Tropicalia: A Brazilian Revoluton in Sound<\/em> and The Sexual Life of the Savages: Underground Post-Punk from Sao Paula Brasil<\/em>. While the tracks on this CD definitely feel dated with synths galore and vocal styles clearly inspired by their UK counterparts (Joy Division, The Cure, Killing Joke, Public Image Limited<\/strong>, etc) you can also hear an era when the possibilities were wide open and passionate bands weren’t afraid to take new ideas a run with ’em. There’s a freshness and originality captured here that breathes new life into what your ideas of what “post-punk” and “new wave” sound like. There’s a real charm in these bands and period of time,\u00a0where synthesizers are\u00a0treated like something new to experiment with and not as an ironic, empty\u00a0gesture. Check out the\u00a0Killing Joke-style percussive drive in Musak<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cIlha Urbana\u201d or the hypercool atmosphere of Chance<\/strong> that’s something like Tangerine Dream<\/strong> covering Suicide<\/strong>, or the intensity of\u00a0Vzyodaq Moe<\/strong>‘s Tragic Figure<\/em>s-era Savage Republic<\/strong> sound.\u00a0It’s one of the best comps to come out in the last 5 years, and if you like what you find here, you can find more on the also great Soul-Jazz comp mentioned above, with plenty more choice cuts and only a couple duplicate songs.<\/p>\n
