Lula Cortes - Rosa De Sangue

"Deluxe first ever reissue of this Brazilian private press monster rarity. Originally custom pressed in 1980, Rosa De Sangue is the closing chapter of the
amazing Recife psychedelic movement that flourished and centered around the work of Lula Cortes, beginning in 1973 with the release of Satwa, and the creation
of Abracadabra, Lulas loose art/music/design collective. Leading up to 1980 Lula had produced and privately released Satwa in 1973 (Brazils first private
press LP) as well as Marconi Notaros No Sub Reino Dos Metazoarios LP that same year (featuring the recording debut of Ze Ramalho). He then started the
legendary but incredibly short lived Solar label, releasing only two albums: 1975s Paebiru double album, and a year later the lone album by Flaviola. As
if that wasnt enough, he was also heavily involved in other productions and performed on many seminal albums coming out of the region, including many collaborations
with Alceu Valenca. By the close of the 70s the heavily utilized Rozemblit recording studio/pressing plant had been destroyed by repeated floods, Abracadabra
had run its course, and along with Lulas marriage, the Solar label was no more. So Rosa De Sangue was conceived as a bookend and tribute to this closing
era; as Lula himself states I want to close all of this with a golden key. And a golden key it is. Entering a small local studio with a head full of songs
and his freshly road tested mountains band, Lula created an album simply overflowing with ideas. Along with his power trio backing, he was further assisted
by many old friends dropping in, including, among many others: Alceu Valenca, Flaviola, Ze De Flauta and Paulo Rafael. With hints of the past era and of
things to come, it is a truly wild audio experience, covering many styles and moods. From crazed ethno folkrock, to magical, gentle, jungle folk psych
zones, to hard hitting, coke dusted fuzz rock, to insane mutant disco dance floor groove, to tweaked Americana, to acid vocal raga trance, and way beyond.
All throughout Lulas beautiful tricordio work pins things down, and for the first time he is the main vocalist (this is, after all, his first solo album!)
His is a smoke and booze steeped voice darting between crazed abandon, deep sadness, and glowing soulful humor. When things are mellow, you could easily
imagine youre hearing an outtake from Marconi Notaro or Paebiru, but the next moment youre dropped into a raging street party or dimly lit booze drenched
bar scene vibe. Frenzied guitars all over, including some tough fuzz, as well as powerful rolling bass groove, soaring violin, moog weirdness, dusted backup
vocals, and great drum kit/regional percussion interplay. Psychedelic at heart, but brimming with flashes of tropicalia, punk, prog, and pure hot blooded
rock and roll. A bizarre and amazing album. But of course, the story doesnt end there. At some point while the album was being recorded and pressed, Lula
signed a major label contact which would produce 1981s far tamer O Gosto Novo Da Vida LP. When his new label got wind of Rosa De Sangues eminent release,
they were displeased to say the least. As soon as the pressing was complete, the entire small edition was seized and destroyed, making this album by far
Brazils rarest. So rare, in fact, that even among the most hardcore Brazilian collectors the original LP is often only rumored to exist, often cited as
unreleased. A few copies did however survive, and now, 29 years later, the world can finally hear this golden key from a truly visionary artist. Packaged
in a heavy vintage style cover with exact reproduction original artwork, including the huge full color, double sided, foldout poster insert, plus an extra
insert featuring new liner notes from Lula Cortes as well as translated song titles.. ." - Time-Lag.
