The Best of Tom Ze: Brazil Classics Vol 4
Luaka Bop 1003C – re-issue LP on limited “Brazilian Blue” vinyl
“Tom Z continues to feed off of these conflicts in Brazilian life. His music reflects an acute awareness of what is going on. You can hear it without understanding the lyrics. Lyrics which are incredible but which are, in some cases, nonsense syllables, as if even he can find no words better to articulate the swarming influences outside his windows in So Paulo. He is a man from the poor Northeast living in the Big City, looking at it with the eyes and ears of a poet. Both inside it and outside it at the same time. Tom Zs is music which gives us hope. Music that finds beauty in strange places.-David Byrne, August 1990
In time for the 30th anniversary of Brazil 5: Tom Z -The Hips of Tradition – The Return of Tom Z, were releasing two of Zs albums chock full of avant garde pop hits ready to be discovered and exalted by the mainstream.On both Brazil Classics 4: The Best of Tom Z – Massive Hits, which comes in a limited Brazilian Blue gatefold edition, and The Hips of Tradition, which comes in a limited Amazon Green edition, heres 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.”
