Brazil's late '60s Tropicalia movement - where electric instruments and current pop was merged with local music - has been recognised as one of the most vital, exciting music scenes in the world. Modulo 1000 took it even further on their 1970 album Não Fale Com Paredes (Don't Talk To Walls). Mr Bongo reissue of Não Fale Com Paredes shows that Tropicalia was part of the story - Brazil was the home to even freakier music. Although influenced by Led Zeppelin and Steppenwolf, Modulo 1000 sounded like no one else. Raw and exotic, Modulo 1000 pitched heavy guitars against songs influenced by psychedelia. On a line between progressive and hard rock, Modulo 1000 still sounded Brazilian.
