Skylab IX
Skylab IX is a live album by the Brazilian musician Rogério Skylab, the ninth in his series of ten eponymous, numbered albums and his second live album overall following Skylab II from 2000. It was self-released on September 2, 2009[1] and recorded in September the previous year during a gig at the Centro Cultural São Paulo.[2] The album includes guest appearances by Löis Lancaster of Zumbi do Mato (who previously collaborated with Skylab on Skylab II), Maurício Pereira of Os Mulheres Negras (with whom Skylab wrote "O Mundo Tá Sempre Girando", off his 2007 release Skylab VII) and Marcelo Birck of Graforreia Xilarmônica (who co-wrote the previously unreleased track "Samba de uma Nota Só ao Contrário", whose title parodies Tom Jobim's 1963 hit "Samba de uma Nota Só").[3] A live DVD of the performance, the first in Skylab's career, was simultaneously released; it contains more tracks than the CD version.[4]

Critical reception
Marcelo Costa of Scream & Yell gave the album a positive rating of 8 out of 10, stating that "its tracks chronicle the pinnacle of Skylab's career" and calling Skylab "the personification of political incorrectness".[5] Webzine Puro Pop also spoke favorably of the album – calling it a "competent production" – and of Skylab's stage performance.[6] Rodrigo Manhães of blog Fanatismo Indeciso called it a "celebration of the sickening side of the human mind", praising its repertoire and the guest appearances by Maurício Pereira, Marcelo Birck and Löis Lancaster. He directed minor criticism to the fact that Skylab seemed to be "in a hurry to finish singing certain songs", but in the end "[Skylab IX] is a great introduction to [Rogério Skylab's] work and an invitation to know his previous outputs".[7]
