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 N?o

Fale Com Paredes (Don t Talk To Walls).

RPM International s reissue of N?o 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.

RPM International s special, band-approved issue of

their only album is supplemented by all the tracks

Modulo 1000 recorded for singles and rare

compilation albums.

Founder member Daniel Romani has been

interviewed for the package.
