Catalog #:	IMPREC 165CD

"Suishou No Fune [soo-ee-sho no foo-nay] was formed in 1999 by guitarists Pirako Kurenai and Kageo. They were quickly acknowledged in Japan for their unique take on Japanese psychedelic traditions but it wasn't until their inclusion on PSF's Tokyo Flashback Volume 5 that their international prominence began to grow. Heavy lyrical emotion transcends linguistic barriers and Pirako's blown-out fuzzy free-dream guitar work is an alternate universe psychedelic Japanese shoegaze. They are a forest at night drenched in echoing reverb and soaked with deeply spiritual/emotional melodies. Awash in waves of fuzz, Suishou No Fune's control of detail amidst chaos and heavy emotions is their deepest asset. Here's to the past. Here's to the future. Somewhere between Fushitsusha and Windy & Carl, there is Suishou No Fune."

Title:	Writhing Underground Flowers
Label:	THE LOTUS SOUND
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	TLS 202CD

"Formed in 1999 by the guitarist duo of Pirako Kurenai and Kageo in Tokyo, Japan. They quickly made a name for themselves in the underground music scenes and played throughout Tokyo with a 'who's who' list of musicians. The two players melded mind and influences to create what they have come to know as 'Magic Music.' This 'Magic Music,' while influenced by some of the biggest names in psychedelia from every decade, defies stereotype, and will lead you on a beautiful journey. This improv journey at times is as soothing as a stream, while other times it radiates with a chaotic beauty not often found in freeform music today. Writhing Underground Flowers is their first release since Where The Spirits Are on seminal label, Holy Mountain. All 3 tracks were fully improvised and showcase the duo's finest explorations. For those familiar with Suishou No Fune, you will be pleased with their continued psychedelic explorations. For those who are not, you will find their poetic beauty exploring the yin/yang of the world around them and within them. Magic music indeed."
