Recorded after the dismissal of singer Rita Lee and the departure of former front man Arnaldo Baptista, Tudo Foi Feito pelo Sol is the amazing result of Os Mutantes diving into prog rock. Led by Sérgio Dias, it combines the beautiful melodies also found in previous Mutantes records with the virtuosity and complex instrumental interplay of progressive rock. "Deixa Entrar um Pouco D'agua..." and "Desanuviar" are my favorite tracks, along with the instrumental track "Pitágoras".

This album does not have the hype of the previous Mutantes psychedelic records, and was not release on CD until very recently (its vynil release easily reached US$500 on used-record stores before that). But it is a true classic, and the music resembles a lot "The Yes Album": Sérgio Dias is a Steve Howe-caliber guitarrist, and Tulio Mourão reminds of Tony Kaye.

And for those looking into more progressive rock from Brazil, please also see "Depois do Fim" from Bacamarte.

i am very impressed with this brazillian prog-rock crossover. very good arrangements. the lyrics suited for the time the album came out. this is a must have a jem. if you like captain beyond, deep purple mkIII, yes,funkadelic and frank zappa. you will find all these flavorful sounds to satisfy your hunger for brazillian rock. this albyum is very different from the early hippie-tropicalia sound. if anyone has information on brazillian hard, stoner, prog. rock from the 60's and 70's please let me know this vital sourcs of music.

If you want a great Brazilian prog rock CD, you found it...
