Fósforos de Oxford (Portuguese for Matches from Oxford) is the only album by Brazilian post-punk band Cabine C. It was released in 1986 by RPM Discos, which was founded by Paulo Ricardo and Luiz Schiavon of RPM. It was the only album to be released by the label, which closed in 1987 after RPM's first break-up.

Contents

Most of the album's lyrics are based on works by Edgar Allan Poe; for example, "Pânico e Solidão" was based on his 1838 novel The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, and "A Queda do Solar de Usher" shares its name with Poe's eponymous 1839 short story.

The album was never re-released in CD form, and is very rare and difficult to obtain; however, it is available for free download on Ciro Pessoa's official SoundCloud page, and the track "Tão Perto" was included in the 2005 compilation of Brazilian post-punk music The Sexual Life of the Savages.
