Title:
Shinki Chen & Friends
Label:
PHOENIX RECORDS (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
ASH 3038CD
Shinki Chen
was one of the leading figures of the Japanese psychedelic rock scene in the early '70s, seen as a
Jimi Hendrix
-type figure in Japan at the time. This record, released in 1971 was some of his last recorded material (he also recorded with the band
Powerhouse
and
Foodbrain
) in addition to the different band line-up known as
Speed, Glue & Shinki
and their debut
Eve
released the same year. While the band's style is often compared to its Krautrock cousins, it lacks the dreamy directionlessness that a lot of them have as well as the bore factor of the lighter-weight progressive rock acts.
Shinki Chen & Friends
might lack
Joey Smith
's amphetamine-fuelled drumming, but it is generally bluesier with lots of strange keyboard effects, fuzzy bass lines and a relatively weeping guitar sound. Digitally remastered. Housed in an LP-replica sleeve in a numbered limited edition.
