Of the what, of the head to the left
So exercise yourselves to your bereft

I would have agreed until I first heard Neko Case.

I never have, but I will give it a shot, though I don't think I will be more moved than I am by Why? That song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it.

Had to go dig out my Nina Simone- It is Finished LP to get the title right; The Pusher is brilliant. Highly recommend it.

Good one!
Os Mutantes-Batmacumba is one of my favourites.
Add to that Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso--Tropicalia 2, which contains a splendid cover of Jimi Hendrix--Wait Until Tomorrow.

If there is music in heaven, then it's certainly afrobrazilian.
I absolutely adore the Tropicália movement. Os Mutantes' self-titled is one of the all-time greatest albums, but Gilberto Gil's Frevo Rasgado (with Os Mutantes as his backing band) is also fantastic, as are Jorge Ben's and Caetano Veloso's self-titleds, plus Tom Zé has some more off-kilter stuff that's mindblowing. I also highly recommend Soul Jazz Records' excellent compilation Brazil '70: After Tropicalia - new directions in Brazilian Music in the 70s, a compendium of the post-Tropicália bands and the later work of the Tropicália stars. Novos Baianos, Secos e Molhados and Jaime Alem e Nair de Cândia are good discoveries of mine, while though it's cheesy I can't help but enjoy Raúl Seixas. The best stuff on there comes from Gilberto Gil and also Mar Revolto, whose album closing track for the compilation is absolutely the perfect record for when the sun rises and you're still out partying.

If you're interested in what happened after THAT, there's a great compilation called Não Wave out which covers the post-punk era from '82 to '88 in Brazil. Agentss are by far my favourite of these, but Fellini are very good as well, and their album O Adeus de Fellini is well worth seeking out if you can find it, but highly influenced by British post-punk such as Joy Division and the Fall.
