A Divina Comedia Ou Ando Meio Desligado

Amazon.com
Os Mutantes's third album finds them growing both more sophisticated and, at times, sillier. The funky "Ando Meio Desligado" ("I Walk Disconnected," a love song full of pot-influenced imagery) gives the record its subtitle. Along with "Quem Tem Medo de Brincar de Amor" and the instrumental "Oh! Mulher Infiel," it shows the group becoming more comfortable with the harder-rocking side of its music. Other highlights of this often brilliant record include the gorgeous "Desculpe, Baby," the anthemic chant "Haleluia," and a Zappa-style doo-wop parody, "Hey Boy." --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

Os Mutantes ý molto bueno!.......2006-04-07

Mike Reed's elitist attitude towards psychedelic rock is easily drained out by the enthusiasm of Os Mutantes fans. This Brazilian psychedelic rock band is the latin equivalent of The Beatles. They were ground-breaking and progressive at their time and pushed forth new barriers for the world of music. Os Mutantes has beautifully flowing music and A Divina Com?dia Ou Ando Meio Desligado is no exception. Possibly their best progressive works that are actually danceable! Unheard of in psychedelic rock for the most part. Heavy dance influence bleeds from Brazilian culture like the sweat on a Hippopotamus's back. Os Mutantes threads this influence through their music and when they're finished you have a brand new outfit. An outfit you'll want to wear everyday and show off to your friends.

Os Mutantes - 'A Divina Comedia Ou Ando.....' (Omplatten).......2005-06-18

Originally released in 1970,'A Divina...' was their third effort.Only thing I can honestly about Os Mutantes(aka The Mutants)is that they were a halfway decent Brazilian obscure psych band.Nothing all that great here,you understand.But okay.Their first three CD reissues are supposed to be their best.Line-up:Rita Lee-vocals,Sergio Baptista-guitar and Arnaldo Baptista-drums.Might possibly appeal to some fans of early Beatles,Spectrum,Love and MPB-4.Take a chance here.You might get more out of it than I did.

Transition record.......2004-09-15

This record marks the transition of the band from their psychedelic Sgt.Pepper's-like sound of their early years into the sound of the 70's, heavier and more complex. The band would end up doing prog-rock in the late 70's and the first signs of it can be seen in a couple of songs. Let me correct the translation of the title: "Ando meio Desligado" means "I've been a little disconected", but the band's English version for the title song, present in the album Technicolor, is "I've been a little spaced out", showing what the original title really meant. The highest moment of this record is the hilarious mockery of Janis Joplin "O meu refrigerador nao funciona" ("My refrigerator doesn't work"). Check it out!

Great and, believe me, clean.......2004-01-09

This record is really something else. I'm not going to repeat every word written in the early reviews, they're all right in my opinion, but as a brazilian and born ten minute far from their neighborhood, I feel the duty to tell you, just for the most curious, that there were no drugs in this specific moment (1970). Ya, this extremely psychedelic and transcendent album was written and played with no external influence!!! Genious stuff!!!

Whoa man.......2002-01-13

This is a GREAT album! One of my all time favorites! Whenever I want to show off my music collection, I grab this one and blast it. The Mutantes shift gears at lighting speed, everywhere from krazy rock 'n roll fiasco to creepy carnival music with nutty sound effects. This is one of the most MANIC albums that I've ever hoid'. They are extraordinarily creative on so many levels: song-writing, performance, recording, post-production, etc... My fav Mutantes album and one of my over all favs of all time. Twelve thumbs up!!!
