...I really think so!
On this Historic day for Scotland I have been listening to lots of tasty Japanese rock!
It started off when I began the day with my favorite female rockers Shonen Knife and their wonderful Rock Animals album. From opener Quavers to beautiful closer Music Square this record is pure class. Ultra cute songs like Little Tree and Catnip Dream are complimented with hard rock gems such as my favorite track Cobra vs Mongoose!
Then a thin package arrived through the letter box. I sliced it open with my trusty switch-blade...lo and behold it was a copy of Flower Travelin'Band: SATORI. With gentle fingers I pushed it deeply into the insides of my faithful old CD player and caressed play...I was taken on a journey into sound unlike any I have experienced before. What a trip!!! And without the use of illegal drugs...or any drugs ...except tea and custard creams of course. Thanks must go out to Lost Jimmy for alerting me to this old Japanese classic of rock!
Right now I am listening to another Lost Jimmy recommendation, the masters of Heavy Metal! GENOCIDE NIPPON!!! If you love heavy metal you will love the album Black Sanctuary. From fast heavy tracks to slow and heavy dirges and even some melodic guitar moments this album has it all! Screaming guitars and air raid siren vocals of the highest metal quality!
Must go now and listen to the hilarious and slightly disturbing Melt Banana and their frenetic neo-punk burnout Tiny Sheeny!!!
That's quite a line-up you've got there old chum!
ReplyDeleteI like of course the Flower Travellin Band and naturally Genocide nippon!
Keep up the good work
Whaaaaaat! You don't like the marvelous Shonen Knife! Melt Banana are way out there on the more experiMENTAL side of Japanese Rock. I listen to them now and again but when I am in the right mood there is no one better!
