Sirius B - Heliocentrics - 2007
Tropical Green - Rogerio Duprat - 1970
The Heliocentrics made their full-length debut last year with "Out There," a collection of spacey funk grooves and loose percussion experiments. "Sirius B" stands out as one of the best tracks on the album, throwing together the right amount of avant-horn riffs, cowbell and "Funky Drummer"-inspired snare. There's sort of a syncopated safari feel that goes well with the other song in this post.
"Tropical Green" is a moody background piece from Rogerio Duprat's legendary album for the London-based KPM label. Duprat arranged and composed for some of the best artists coming out of '70s Brazil--Os Mutantes, Gal Costa, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil. He later turned to composing "library music," or non-commercially released studio work that was licensed for commercials and TV shows. Read more about him here and here.
