*The Sound of Music OST (1965)*

Endearing original motion picture soundtrack for the 1965's classic The Sound of Music. It was released by RCA VICTOR in several countries, and this is the portuguese version that was issued by TELECTRA - Empresa técnica de Equipamentos eléctricos, a label that issued many RCA VICTOR records during the 70's in Portugal. This was a gift from dear friends since I'm a fan of the movie.

RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN'S THE SOUND OF MUSIC OST format: VYNIL



"Original motion picture soundtrack of the spectacular Robert Wise's production". It remains one of the most popular soundtracks and it has sold more than 20million copies worldwide.In 2018, it was added to the library of congress due to its historic and cultural significance. 

Some cool trivia:

- Between shooting, Dame Julie Andrews used to sing "Supercalifragilisticexpialiadoucious" to the children of the cast, and since Mary Poppins was yet to be released, the children thought that it was a song Julie Andrews had made up. 

- In the "I have confidence" scene, Maria trips, this was actually an accident but Robert Wise liked it so much, he decided to keep it because it encapsulated the nervousness of the character and the general vibe of that scene. 

- Dame Julie Andrews actually had to learn to play guitar for the role. 

- Julie Andrews's favourite song from this movie is Edelweiss.

*Khruangbin - LateNightTales*

  A brilliant and accessible double LP that showcases Khruangbin favourite tracks and influences providing an actual sonic globetrotting experience. The journey starts with "Illuminations" featuring Alice Coltrane and Santana, a spiritual intro for an incredible journey. The second track "I know that (when the spring times comes)" by Brilliantes del Vuelo is a mellow dubby reggae inspired track that gives a way to the more energetic "Khushi" by Nazia Hassan, a bittersweet quasi disco sounding track. "DRM" by Kelly Doyle is a rather short but breezy instrumental song that keeps the spirit of the sonic traveller alive. Side B starts up with "Don't go" by the south korean rock pioneers Sanullim, a very 80's new wave delight type of song. "I like it (don't stop)" by Maxwell Udoh is a rather amusing disco type song with romantic lyrics, very danceable stuff. "Enseñame" featuring David Marez is a lounge type so...

*Tiago Guillul - V*

  Indie pop by Tiago Guillul. Recorded in a studio and with guests like Rui Reininho, Tiago Guillul moves from his lo-fi days to a well produced and clean cut album. "A Febre em 1993" is a really adorable and catchy song that is one of the highlights of this album, using dancing and funky samples with some playful arrangements. "Nabucodonosor" named after one of the kings in the bible, is a really jangley song with collaborations from Rui Reininho in the vocals. Released by Florcaveira, this album has some religious inspired lyrics and most songs were built upon evangelical songs from all over the world, but that isn't exactly a surprise since it's Tiago Guillul. Overall, a candy bomb of an album of enjoyable and clever indie pop.

*Jonzun Crew - Lost in Space*

  Spectacular funky hip-hop from the 80's. The group was led by Michael Jonzun and his brothers Maurice Starr, Sonny and Carl. The group was highly influenced by Afrika Bambaatta, they wore wigs like Mozart and dominated the electroboogie sound like bands such as Parliament.  All the tracks are great and unique. Wonderful band that has yet to find its real listeners. The green solid reissue is gorgeous.  Interesting for fans of Daft Punk.
