"Early in this year, Acid Mothers Temple & The Pink Ladies Blues has slightly changed their name into: Diza Star & The Pink Ladies Blues. A short biography and all reasons of this change are well explained and detailed in the liner notes included in this album. Following their short second The Soul of a Mountain Wolf released 6 months ago, this new one is simply and logically titled 3. It's quite obvious that this Japanese underground punk blues trio has focused on this recording at their most political orientation as states the thema on each vinyl side: 'Utopia/Anarchy.' The band made indisputable a strong reference, ideologically, to some underground '70s group like Amon Düül, Checkpoint Charlie, Ton Steine Scherben, Red Noise etc... The result is 5 tracks, all instrumental, with 2 sides musically opposite: the first one has a groovy sound, psychedelic and folky flavor (with Mani Neumeier from Guru Guru as guest on one track) and the other brings different collages (including various natural sound sources, from insects to human walk...) and put the band at the peak of their craziness on the final track 'Diza Star.' Limited numbered vinyl edition to 197 ex. (comes with 2 inserts)."

"Diza Star 4th, a special album (the trio + 1) featuring the unique and exceptional participation by the legendary Krautrock drummer, Mani Neumeier. An astonishing meeting between 4 psychedelic ethnic punks! The long career of the Star Neumeier, first in the '60s jazz sphere with Alexander von Schlippenbach big band Globe Unity or with Irène Schweizer, before switched for the well-known freak-out psychedelic rock experience Guru Guru, then followed by other project (Tier der Nacht etc...), collaborations, and many trips around the world (especially India, Indonesia, Thailand and Japan) revealed today -- and rare nowadays -- an extraordinary talented musician emotionally and spiritually. A motley album, from where all the 10 tracks came naturally in one day studio session, and the music range many different directions from ethnic ballads to psychedelic jam rock, from exotic ambient excursion to funny folkloric sequences, or just pure instant rock'n'roll. Various and tasty, this album is like a dessert surprise: a maelstrom of sugar in its form with its acid and salty feeling on its occasion under a deep powerful rhythmic section and leads by free (no 4 !) humour mind. NB : Track n°8, show Mani Neumeier on guitar (notable & rare). CD edition, jewel case, booklet 28 pages full color."
