Reissue on 180 gram, blue vinyl; hand numbered editions. Legendary Japanese rock outfit
Les Rallizes Dénudés
were formed in 1967 and incredibly, for a group that had only one official release (
Oz Days Live
, a double vinyl compilation release in 1973), played their last gig almost 30 years later in October 1996. The band's name apparently means "fucked up and naked," which more than adequately describes their music. Formed by band leader
Mizutani Takashi
, the music remained remarkably familiar over the years, and is best described as high volume, raw, lo-fi, repetitive, feedback-drenched guitar-noise fests with nods in the direction of
The Velvet Underground
and
Blues Creation
, but without the electronics. Radical left-wing politics were never far from the band's agenda, with one original band member (
Wakabayashi
) being involved in the Japanese Red Army's hijacking of a flight to North Korea. Consequently, the group's live appearances became less frequent and increasingly clandestine. All the band's albums were released in very small quantities, and because of the group's reputation for secrecy and violence, as well as the difficulty in tracking down their recordings, Les Rallizes Dénudés has assumed almost mythical status.
Blind Baby Has It's Mothers Eyes
sits at #11 on
Julian Cope
's list of top Japanese albums. "
Massive slabs of distortion inhabit every seam of this monstrously linear album
" --Julian Cope (
Japrocksampler
).
