Wow that's fantastic Mick ! I'm so glad you like it. As you already know Julian voted it top of his Japrocksampler list along with Speed,Glue and Shinki (!!?). I'm not familiar with the latter group but I checked out number three on the list (Les Rallizes Denudes - Heavier Than A Death In The Family) and it's the polar opposite to the tight Rock structures of the Flower Travellin' Band - see earlier post. The only description I could come up with would be, take a pinch of the Velvet's Sister Ray mixed in with Jimi's feedback squall and throw in the craziest drugged out heavily reverbed vocal you can imagine and you're half way there! Crazy music, crazy guys and I'm loving' it :-)mick wrote:
Cybot,
I got this on foot of your recommendation. It is really excellent. How much more great music is to be found. I would never have thought of Japanese rock bands before. Good Call.
