Nice to see him using a Bilhorn Telescope reed organ in this clip too. Mine is 100+ years old and the reeds are still in tune, even if the cabinet is falling to bits..

Not sure if Ivor Cutler is well known in the states, I'm not sure if you will find this funny.

... and another morning gone, this one spent reading about and listening to Ivor Cutler. You're right Mark, I guess we haven't heard much about him in the states. Great stuff! I love all that harmonium too.

Hi RObert,I was born in Brazil, but I livedin the US, SPain, UK etc for over 20 years...well, Os Mutantes is a fave of mine...they came out in 1967 during the Tropicalia movement (which was a Brazilian response to psychedelic music in the tropics). Maestro Rogerio Duprat played a major role in developing the band's sound + the talent of Arnaldo Batista, which unfortunately lost his marbles à la Syd Barrett.I saw them live in different incarnations...but my fondest memories are of staying up til late night during the great music festivals of 67/68/69 of RecordTV, that brought us no less than: Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Milton Nascimento, and many others including Os Mutantes,,we were at the height of a military dictatorship and watchibg these guys with these clothes was a blast...besides, in thos days playing an electric guitar was considered an imperialistic attitude....,well I'll stop here...In my opinion the second album which has Don QUixote, QUalquer Bobagem (all time fave) Dia 36 (psych masterpiece!) 2001, and Caminhante Noturno is the best...but the first five are great....Besides, their brother was an electronic engineer who built all their amps and guitars...Hope this helps.To: newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com

Subject: [newmellotrongroup] Nico's Marble Index / Os Mutantes
Hi Roberto,In my opinion, Nico's "Marble Index" is a great album and I think it's her best. Of course, the 1st Velvet Underground album that she appears on is also great.Sometimes, I refer to her as "the grandmother of Goth".Not meaning to get too personal, you mentioned a while back that you currently live in Brazil? Some styles of Brazilian music are amongst my favorite. Most particularly Bossa Nova. On a different note, approximately 6 years ago, I saw a psychedelic rock group from Brazil in Miami called Os Mutantes. That was the last concert of their "world tour" that included a small number of cities before they went back to Brazil. I had never heard of this group until a few weeks before the show. A friend of mine who owns and operates the only remaining psychedelic record store in Miami told me about them and recommended that I go to the concert. I think the concert was wonderful and included Arnaldo Baptista and Sérgio Dias Baptista, co-founding members of this late 60's Tropicalia group. Zelia Duncan was their lead vocalist for this tour and I think she did an excellent job. Rita Lee, the original female vocalist and co-founding member left the group many years ago.Back in the late 60's, Os Mutantes was kind of like a Beatlesque Brazilian group.Question - have you (or anybody else on this list) ever heard of them ?

Mark,I would love to hear your Bilhorn Telescope reed organ.If you haven't already listened to the albums by Dolly (RIP) and Shirley Collins, I strongly recommend you check them out. Dolly plays the Portative Pipe Organ on several of them. Also check out Dolly's album titled "The Transports" which is absolutely beautiful. Same with "Folk Roots, New Routes" by Shirley Collins and Davy Graham, "No Roses" by Shirley Collins and the Albion Country Band, the other Shirley Collins albums including others that she guests on.Cheers,RobertFrom: Mark Wallis <markstuartwallis@hotmail.com>
