Meireles e Sua Orquestra: Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001 - Uma Odisséia no Espaço) [1974]

from the album Brasilian Explosion

I just got back from a trip to Buenos Aires, and while there I did some pretty serious crate-digging. This is the first fruit of my "labors" -- Meireles covering Deodato covering Kubrick covering Strauss (later covered by Phish). Love the extensive Moog on this, and also that great Brasilian percussion instrument that sounds a little like an excited chimp -- Airto plays it a lot on "Live Evil"... what's it called? Oh yeah, a cuica.
