Leonardo Music Journal -- Awesome!!

Julian Cope's JapRockSampler top 50

does anyone have the one that's tied for #1 with Satori (Speed Glue and Shinki?) ... link's dead and I've never heard it ...

i have two tracks by speed, glue & shinki but i'm on vacation. i can post on tuesday night if you remind me.

i might post the whole thing ... blues creation's "brane buster" is a must

hey moonship do u have any opinions on miles maeda as a dj

bland

i tried really hard to stay sympathetic to the whole post-mark farina chicago boompty thing but ... i don't know, maybe the crowds are better at these things in chicago than the west coast?

the only people who do that thing at all well are like derrick carter, rob mello, the freaks and brett johnson.

i saw iz&diz once and i wanted there to be an earthquake it was so boring

saw derrick carter last night and the opening dj was this dude acidman who was real good. i talked to him after and apparently hes opening for maeda next month and i was trynna figure out whether it would be worth checking

how was derrick?

great! the set was too short tho - he didn't show up until about 1230 i think, started a little after that so he only played records for at most an hour and a half, probably more like an hour 15 since the place closed at 2. it was the day before a holiday tho so there were lots of people there, it was a fun party for sure. they were passing out press-on tattoos of hearts with 'derrick' written in the middle, some random girl there licked mine onto my arm for me but it still wouldn't stick

he played a good 25 mins of 'classics' i.e. more bounce to the oz. Ended the set really strong.

Speed Glue and Shinki are awesome. So rad!!!!

the link for s/t still works actually .... it's "eve" thats broken

now i am rockin blues creation "demon and 11 children"

what does flower travelin' band sound like?

btw i didn't even see that japrocksampler cornucopia when i posted that, let me know if you still want that love peace poetry thing...

what does flower travelin' band sound like?

theyre awesome!! super heavy rock / psych with a singer who is like a japanese ozzy or plant. they sound like this:

speed glue & shinki & a trippy kitty

there's a bit in the "love, peace and poetry" liner notes about how they thought japanese psych sounded particularly unhinged because it was near impossible to get acid or pot in the 60s, so they had to make up for it by making the music and the scene extra-bizarre.

not sure if that's a reasonable hypothesis but it's a good soundbite.

haha xpost

let me know if you still want that love peace poetry thing...

up to you! I've gotten 3 or 4 records off that other link but I dont have the disc space to truly go nuts ... so a broad sampling might be better ....

that link is insane. what should i check out first? i've heard the People disc. it somehow samples or covers some axlerod songs.

also, anyone actually read the book?

I'm a noob to this shit and don't know much beyond the obvious but first I'd get everything by flower travellin and les rallizes denudes (like a noisier more fucked sounding japanese v.u., walls of feedback) and then go from there

I got that taj mahal travellers "august 1974" off mutant sounds a while back and wasnt totally into it but I know a lot of drone heads like those guys

blues creation is along the lines of atomic rooster or iron butterfly, heavy blues rock with breaks

(haven't read the book ... or the kraut book either .. probably should)

I only have Erotic Drum Band records.

yeah, i was confused by the name and the talking about jap rock.
here's another one. i don't have the rest of the EP ripped.

i've got a few flower travellin bands and have heard les rallizes. taj mahal wasn't my thing either.

i have the kraut book and it's kinda funny to say the least.

magical power mako is pretty fausty

Japrocksampler

my favorites going in were Kosugi & the Taj Mahal Travellers, Geinoh Yamashirogumi, Joji Yuasa, Ichiyanagi, Group Ongaku & the Rallizes. Favorite things the book turned me onto were J.A. Caesar, Love Live Life + 1, Karuna Khyal & the 2nd Magical Power Mako 'Super Record' (which Cope is wrong to hate), and it was good to learn about FTB, Speed Glue & Shinki, Brast Burn, Masahiko Satoh & Soundbreakers

Jaxon, knowing your tastes you should check out that outstanding Love Live Life + 1 record. 60's psychedelic garage but completely overdriven. & if you're into Residents / Faust, that Karuna Khyal CD is pretty mutant

love live life + 1 is fucking awesssome. there's a jazz thing going on there, too, it isn't straight-up psych by any means.

fwiw even though rallizes "heavier than a death in the family" is listed as "live 73-77" it seems like it is 90% the same as "77 live" (77 live has a couple extra tracks ... one of em 20 mins that takes up the bulk of disc 2)

that kuni kawachi + ftb record is good too

here's a couple songs off that music de wolfe comp.
funky cop soundtrax / theme-from-SWAT type stuff

thx. i was curious ab out it when i saw it in a store, then curious again when you posted about it

"swarf" is pretty sick, love the slowed down wah pedal action

that music de wolfe comp is amazing. i've got some other comps of library music (sound gallery 1+2 are the first that come to mind) and de wolfe is just light years better.
