Also probably not what you're looking for but there is an amazing series documenting the Japanese psychedelic noise underground calledTokyo Flashback. I think it's up to Vol.10 or so now. Anyway, I freaking LOVE 'em.

Tokyo Flashback comps look interesting. I guess they aren't available to stream anywhere. I have this, but not played it yet.. Various – Tokyo Invasion Volume 1: Cosmic Kurushi Monsters

I bought this recently, off the back of the awesome Even A Tree Can Shed tears comp on Light In The Attic which opened up a whole new world of stuff to explore.
Not listened yet as it's only just arrived, but is there any chance some kind soul could provide romanised versions of the track titles? Would make further exploration a hell of a lot easier...

Lovin' Mighty Fire is great, some fantastic stuff on there.
Just ordered Throw Away Your CDs - I really enjoyed Quit Your Band (the book Iain Martin wrote about the Japanese underground) last year, so intrigued to hear the compilation.
