DESCRIPTION
In the early 90s gangsta rap dominated on the West Coast led by N.W.A., Above The Law, CMW, Ice-T, and Bay Area artists like Too $hort. The East Coast had harder acts like EPMD and Kool G Rap, alongside politically and socially conscious groups like Public Enemy, BDP, and Poor Righteous Teachers. In contrast, groups like De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and Brand Nubian emerged with a more positive and laid-back vibe. It was during this time frame that Oakland, CA’s Del The Funky Homosapien (PKA Del Tha Funkee Homosapien) emerged incorporating elements and styles akin to The Native Tongue's East Coast Hip-Hop with a P-Funk-influenced West Coast vibe.
I Wish My Brother George Was Here debuted in 1991 under Del’s cousin Ice Cube’s Street Knowledge imprint. The album was quite the opposite of "Street Knowledge" with 14 tracks of funk-filled beats and Del spitting humorous stories as an outsider to the gangsta rap scene. The amazing production was overseen by Ice Cube’s production crew The Boogie Men who also produced Da Lench Mob’s Guerillas In Tha Mist the following year. I Wish My Brother George Was Here set the stage for the success of other West Coast acts like The Pharcyde and helped Del to bring forward his crew of Hieroglyphics with Souls Of Mischief and Casual. I Wish My Brother George Was Here is a classic from the lead single “Mistadobalina” to the jazz sample cut of “The Wacky World of Rapid Transit”, to the trippy P-funk laced “Sunny Meadowz” and the hard-hitting “Hoodz Come In Dozens” with a touch of freestyle rap on The Meter’s sampled track “Same Ol’ Thing". Del delivers a no-skips funky light-hearted album that has stood the test of time.
Get On Down is proud to bring back this West Coast classic on vinyl. The album is pressed on “Day-Glo Washed” double-colored vinyl packaged with a fold-out album art cover poster and numbered OBI limited to 1000 copies.

DESCRIPTION
According to Disk Union / Think Records that just made a CD reissue of this record:
"Mysterious Acid Bossa Psychedelic Folk masterpiece recorded in 1971 and released in 1973 on a small Brazilian label. Recorded by students of the law school in São Paulo, under the influence of "Sgt. Pepper's" mixed with Bossa Nova. It's a chaotic yet delicate and sophisticated.
I can't imagine it being composed or recorded by amateur musicians that they were, except by Renato Mendes, who has been active as a first-class musician since the Jazz Bossa period and was a brazilian pioneer recording an album using a Moog synthesizer in 1974. It can be said that it greatly contributes to the miraculous perfection of this work.
Known among record collectors as a record that attracts not only Brazilian music fans but also Psychedelic and Acid Folk fans, the original version is a gem and sells for over USD1000."
One of the rarest and most enigmatic LPs in the Brazilian discography from the 1970s, Pra Quem Sabe das Coisas, released in 1973 by the label EBRAU (Editora Brasileira Artistas Unidos), finally has a refined reissue and its mysteries revealed, exactly half a century later, considering that it was recorded in 1971, but put in the market as a 12-inch record only two years later.
During a telephone chat packed with affectionate memories, Cau Pimentel (Cláudio Gama Pimentel), singer, songwriter and occasional guitarist with great sensibility and talent whose main professional activity involves criminal law, brought to the surface a story of passion for music that allowed great friendships to flourish, in the bubbling environment at the University of São Paulo’s Largo do São Francisco Law School, where he graduated as a lawyer. It was at the famous Coral da USP choir that the group gathered. The shared talent for music, by the way, explains the title “pra quem sabe das coisas” – for those who know the stuff. When the subject was popular music, Cau, Marcão, Benê, Bi, Vera, Eulália e Liliana were unquestionable amongst their peers.
Over two years, between 1969 and 1971, the group of instrumentalists and singers develop the repertoire recorded on the LP. They also have a crucial support: the polished assistance of Renato Mendes (1939 – 2013), Cau Pimentel’s cousin and one of the most celebrated organ players in the country, established in samba-jazz albums such as Renato Mendes & Seu Orgão (Mocambo, 1963) and Orgão de Vanguarda (Chantecler, 1965).
Gathered by Cau, the tracklist of Pra Quem Sabe Das Coisas remains, 50 years later, impactful and hard to label. The vocal harmonies, the sophistication of the arrangements and the existential density of the lyrics produce an atmosphere of rare beauty and unusual perception of aesthetic unity, as this is a collective record. A curiosity that might explain the difficulty in finding original copies of the LP: a significant share of the batch of 500 unities, which was paid by the XI de Agosto Students Union, was distributed amongst relatives of the artists and students at São Francisco law school.

DESCRIPTION
It is rather fascinating Jocy de Oliveira's journey as a creative and sensitive inhabitant of our planet. She is a masterful composer, interpreter, multimedia artist, and storyteller. Her pieces are influenced by the avant-garde of the 20th century and all cultures and languages on Earth, emphasizing the importance of feminism, science, and the environment.
Jocy started composing at the age of six and was introduced to piano studies at a very young age by her mother who was a poet and pianist.
Her talent and dedication brought her to work alongside eminent 20th-century music masters such as Igor Stravinsky, Oliver Messaien, Luciano Berio, Claudio Santoro, John Cage, Xenaxis and Karlheinz Stockhausen.
This became a vital experience in her artistic life and she performed world premieres of works by many of these great composers.
Jocy witnessed and experienced the rupture of several paradigms of Western music. She incorporated serialism and electroacoustics, dialogued with ritualistic music and indeterminacy that boomed in the revolutionary 1960s. Along this path, joining her fascination with theatricality and the desire to tell stories, she immersed herself and subverted the language of traditional opera, following her heart and her instincts over nine operatic pieces.
This album is dedicated to a production that goes from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. That was a very troubled period in the artist's life in the face of the significant loss of her father, followed by health problems, accidents, and staying away from her main instrument, the piano. She chose to give up her pianist career and intensify her authorial production. She explored the multiple possibilities of multimedia and multidisciplinary language, composing and presenting, among other pieces, two "magical operas" of great relevance, from which we selected pieces and extracts to be part of this album.
Fata Morgana (1987) is an electroacoustic opera that elaborates the imaginary and mythologies linked to the feminine sacred, associated with the cosmology of contemporary physics. The show features a collection of dream memories and images, giving emphasis to ritualistic gestures.
“Inori – to the sacred prostitute” (1993) also rescues matriarchal values based on the diversity of languages, cultures, races, beliefs, and religions. The lunar set celebrates the mysteries of the unconscious through a language open to fate and experimentation.
On side A, “Oniric” from the opera Fata Morgana (1987) presents electronic music performed in real-time along with voice. It’s interesting to note the presence of electronics in real-time unifying the album’s concept.
Jocy uses a Yamaha TX and DX7 synthesizer, instruments that permeate all selected parts.
The following pieces are two ragas : “Telling of a raga” from the same opera, and on side B “Raga in the Amazon ” plus “Solaris”, segments from the opera “Inori – to the sacred prostitute”.
All tracks are unreleased on vinyl. During a conversation , Jocy told me: “Raga is used by me in the sense of emotion, color, not exactly as musical modes in Indian music, although there is a search for the universe energy and human being integration. This was very much what I felt when I heard Carnatic music in India. There is dignity and respect there which make us feel an integration with the cosmos.”
As a curator, another of my focuses for this album is experimentation that confronts the limits between composition and indeterminacy. Speaking about Stockhausen in her book “Dialogue with letters” (SESI-SP, 2014) she says: “Mantra for two pianos by Stockhausen is one of his works that most fascinates me for certain qualities that sounds like improvisation and, are strictly determined. A challenge for pianists.” Jocy brings much of that focus to her Ragas.
The first title for this release was “Extratos Oníricos”, but during production, the composer sent us the following message: “I was thinking about the project of LP from the ‘80s and I believe the best title could be “Raga na Amazônia.”
I think the title would be more up-to-date, although I presented many concerts and events in the 70s and 80s focusing environmental questions, we still need to continue fighting for Amazon.”
About experimental music, in her same book, Jocy clarifies that "John Cage said that the word experimental should not describe an act in terms of future judgment, as to its success or failure, but should be applied to an act whose result is unknown"
During an interview at “Dialogue with composers” project, organized by the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra (OSB) in December 2020, Jocy spoke about the importance of music in her life: "I don't think of music as a career, but as a destiny. I express myself through music because this is my way of manifesting myself. It is my voice, my cry, my groan. ”
