http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59531&rws=%2Ftom-ze%2Fdiscography.rssA pioneer in the short-lived Brazilian Tropicalia movement of the late '60s, Tom Ze has made a career of quirky experiments that combine Brazilian and American pop sounds. A musical dadaist, he came to light on the 1968 compilation <I>Ou Panis et Circensis</I>. Releasing a series of records throughout the '70s that went virtually unnoticed in both his homeland and abroad, he was eventually re-recognized at the onset of the '90s via his inclusion on a collection released by David Byrne's Luaka Bop label. A pioneer in sound loops, noise experimentation, and bizarre lyrics, Tom Ze peppers his rigidly produced music with a playful surrealism that makes you wonder if the whole thing is a parody. Of his '90s output, the first, <I>The Hips of Tradition</I>, was a less edgy, more straightforward Brazilian pop record; its successor, 1998's <I>Fabrication Defect</I>, found him back in fine form with its combination of avant-pop, Bossa Nova, and a myriad of layered effects. A remix record followed shortly, allowing a new wave of pop experimentalists to have their way with his uniquely infectious pop. - Jon PruettTropicaliaen720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:45:27 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59531&rws=%2Ftom-ze%2Fdiscography.rss A pioneer in the short-lived Brazilian Tropicalia movement of the late '60s, Tom Ze has made a career of quirky experiments that combine Brazilian and American pop sounds.
