The best of Tom Ze on classic black vinyl.

Here's what you have in store: Household appliances and tools in arrangements with horns, strings, "prepared" guitars (punctuated by grunts, screams and other wild percussion), all melded with eccentric metaphorical lyricism. The result: sounds of "sambas and archangels/ street and street riot," sometimes hypnotic, sometimes dissonant and always a beautiful amalgamation of unusual noises, hysterical lyrics, and pop songs that remain an essential part of the Brazilian historical legacy of musical exploration.
