JAPROCKSAMPLER# 9 Takehisa Kosugi “Catch-Wave

Talking of holy fuck . . . . Thats what i thought when i first heard this LP. Coming on like Zeit period Tangerine Dream this is one hell of a droneathon classic up there with La Monte Young and Sunn. Takehisa Kosugi was part of the Fluxus movement (Cale,Ono,Conrad etc...) and was also a member of the incredible Taj Mahal Travellers. Layering a droning Moog tone with treated piano and traditional instruments this hits you like Klaus Shultze on Mogadon in India.

JAPROCKSAMPLER #6 - Love Live Life + One - Love Will Make A Better You (1970)

Out of all the recent interest in Japanese rock thanks to Mr J Cope's book its the beauties like this that make it all worthwile. Recorded in 1970 and featuring the damaged fuzz guitar of K. Mizutani this LP comes on like a Dieter Derks produced Cosmic Jokers LP all phased and out there. Opener "The Question Mark (17:59)" is one hell of a trip and by the time the 2nd track comes in your brain is fried and just hooks up for the ride thru the rest of the LP. For fans of Cosmic Jokers,Brainticket and the Haphash freakout LP

Holy Fuck - in Session

Is Clint Boon the new Tony Wilson? Let's hope so, I love the half dozen kids stood around feeling slightly awkward whilst Holy Fuck do their stuff. Boon's interview mid session is a classic, especially about getting 'turned on', I can believe it!

Comus - First Utterance

One of the UK's greatest unsung bands along with Dark and Zior. They released their debut LP "First Utterance" in 1971 on Dawn records and it failed to do well due to a postal strike that held up distribution and it sank without trace making prices of the original gatefold LP to rocket. The album contains some of the best byrdy wyrdy folk along the lines of Trees,Subway,Fairports but with more of an mystic eastern feel. One of the main things about Comus is their un-nerving sound that comes from Roger Wooton's vocals delivered in a pained shrilled way that is very compelling and this is layered upon the droning eerie violin tones of Colin Pearson and the female vocals from Bobby Watson. Lyrical content is not for the faint hearted involving such themes as Rape,violence, mental disorders and murder (Not your usual skip through the folky forest). They split right after this LP only to regroup in 1974 for 2nd LP "To Keep from Crying". The line up was expanded to include Gong sax blaster Didier Malherbe among others.

JAPROCKSAMPLER #2 & 15 Speed,Glue and Shinki

If you like that heavy drugged psych sound from the early '70's then Speed, Glue & Shinki is a must! This is a excellent sounding group from Japan and featured the great Shinki Chen on guitar. If you like Blues Creation, Juan De La Cruz, Flower Travellin' Band and Too Much then you are going to love this rare release! The debut album from 1971 by '70's Japanese acid rock band Speed Glue and Shinki.Psychedelic weirdness predominates on this release which rips along like a sludge heavy Led Zep meets Sabbath - with plenty of guitar mayhem on cuts like "Stoned Out Of My Mind" and "Mr. Walking Drugstore Man......" - and then trips out in an acoustic fashion.

Sir Lord Baltimore

Sir Lord Baltimore were a pioneering American heavy metal band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 1968 by lead vocalist/drummer John Garner, guitarist Louis Dambra, and bass player Gary Justin. They are most notable for the fact that a 1971 review of their debut record, Kingdom Come, contained the first documented use of the term "heavy metal" to refer to a style of music. Additionally, Sir Lord Baltimore featured a drumming lead singer, traditionally a rarity in rock and metal music.

The Litter
