In the spirit of striking while the iron is hot (i.e., before the ink has
dried on the NYTimes article), DJ Akashic presents that Tropicália tape of
his what was going around not too long ago. Now in streaming audio!

http://www.best.com/~arzachel/tropicalia/tropicalia1.ram

Here's what we're looking at, problems as noted:

A Minha Menina -- Os Mutantes

Eles -- Caetano Veloso

Sebastiana -- Gal Costa

O Patrão Nossa de Cada Dia -- Secos e Molhados

Banho de Lua (Tintarella di Luna) -- Os Mutantes

Back in Bahia -- Gilberto Gil

[sorry the level's so low on this one; I'm using a straight ripper & the
state of cheap Gil digital reissues is *criminal*; esp. ironic considering
what a great website he has: http://www.GilbertoGil.com.br ; hmm, actually
I'm having problems connecting-- perhaps there's a more recent address?]

The Empty Boat -- Caetano Veloso

Divino, Maravilhoso -- Gal Costa

Ave Gengis Khan -- Os Mutantes

Alunar -- Milton Nascimento

Maria Bethânia -- Caetano Veloso

Amor -- Secos e Molhados

Bat Macumba -- Gilberto Gil

Tuarag -- Gal Costa

Näo Vá Se Perder por Aí -- Os Mutantes

A Gravata -- Tom Zé

Tropicália -- Caetano Veloso

Fé Cega, Faca Amolada -- Milton Nascimento

Panis et Circenses -- Os Mutantes

[this is très bizarre. this is the song which refuses to stream. it's
encoded just like all the other songs, but it won't stream. i re-encoded
it, & it won't stream. you can download it at
http://www.best.com/~arzachel/tropicalia/mutantes/panisetcircenses.ra &
it'll play fine. but the lousy motherfucker won't stream. i've written to
the "real" people about it, but i hardly expect satisfaction. especially
frustrating, as it's a keynote toon of the collection. please write if you
have any expertise in the streaming audio field, & have any kinda clue what
might be going wrong.]

Relance -- Gal Costa

Assim Assado -- Secos e Molhados

Não Identificado -- Caetano Veloso

Refazenda -- Gilberto Gil

Fuga Nº II -- Os Mutantes

Saîdas e Bandeiras -- Milton Nascimento

Acauã -- Gal Costa

Barbarella -- Jorge Ben

Rosa de Hiroshima -- Secos e Molhados

I'll be adding more songs soon (basically constructing v. 2 of the tape
online, I suppose; so please check back, if you will). I'm also actively
soliciting hard-drive space for this project, as I'm rapidly exceeding my
limited quotas; so if you dig this stuff & have some spare memory lying
around, please get in touch w/me.
