Grey-area reissue of this once totally unknown Japanese freak-out album, originally issued in 1971 (previously reissued on LP by Shadoks and legit-CD by P-Vine). This was briefly available a few years back and here it is again; say what you will, but this is an monumental album that is never going to go "out of style". Opening in unique fashion with various street sounds collaged into a sampled excerpt of David Axelrod's "Holy Thursday" (from his 1968 masterpiece Song of Innocence), this flows into exceptionally heavy psych from the group People, led by the pure wah-wah excess of guitarist Kimio Mizutani (Love Live Life, Satoh Masahiko & Soundbreakers). Mixing Buddhist chanting, chirping birds and religious ecstasy, this one beats B.O.R.B. to the doughnut hole by 2 decades plus.
