I'm going to have to check out that Gilberto Gil record. I'm still wet behind the ears when it comes Tropicalia. Chrysanthym (or anyone one else I guess), do you know anything about Nara Leão or Jorge Ben? Those are two other artists I've heard good things about, though I'm not sure what albums I should start with.
Great list by the way. Lots of stuff I need to check out. I wish I was more knowledgeable about Tropicalia but it's just been in the last few months that I've been delving into it. From what I have heard, these are some of my favorites:
Jorge Ben - Africa/Brasil
Jorge Ben - Força Bruta
Gilberto Gil - 1968
Gilberto Gil - 1969
Caetano Veloso - Caetano Veloso (Tropicália)
Marcos Valle - Garra
Still waiting for your list Seba.
Do you think we would forget after you made us do those lists?

If you had been around here long enough.....you would realize just how funny your post happens to be.

I've always thought the beats were closer to garage than hip-hop, but I suppose the connection is there. The best thing about it is the lyrics, which do a really good job of summing up early twentysomething experience in urban Britain. One of the music magazines called it "Shakespeare for clubbers" and I think that's about right.
Nothing The Streets have done since has come close to it.
great list! even seems very similar to my possible one.
but could be better when #74 becomes Debut ('93)

the accent of icelandic words falls in almost all cases on the first syllable. the exceptions are
1.words that have the negative prefix "ó-" meaning "un-" as in "unwilling" eg óhreinindi
2.words that have the prefix "all-" meaning "rather" or "very" eg allfeginn
in these two cases, the accent falls equally on the first two syllables or mainly on the second syllable.
