The tone of this LP is cast in a shadow, and it seeps through the pores of each track, some of which contain Not Your Average Title. I mean, 'Ningen Syutaino Keieitokoji' translates as Works Mostly Composed by Humans... and 'Renai Bochi', Graveyard of Love. However, this ain't some pointless posturing... this is an LP that carries that weight, while remembering to bring a pocket full of cool-ass riffs, super-heavy Hammond, bouncin' bass and far-out vox. This is one seriously good album, no doubt about that.

LP opener, 'Kirikyogen' is teases in the intro with stop/start bass and organ before dropping into Grade A heavy funk psych prog rock. It's completely irresistible. There's a whiff of the weirdness of early English prog records... but crucially, these kids were still into Hendrix too... remembering that no matter how good you are on guitar, you still gotta bring something to the dancefloor. 'Time Machine' is another track that's pretty out-there, but still reels in enough to make you daydream about hearing it in a DJ set or whatever... and that's including it's apocalyptic mid-way nervous breakdown, descending into sound effects, warped instruments and delayed wrongness... then of course, back comes the beats, the hammond, the fuzzed out guitar and harmonica... it's cracking stuff.

As a long-player, it's the kind that'll blow yer mind slightly, make you walk that little bit taller and wish you could start a Japrock band by the weekend... Kuni Kawachi & Friends make my kinda music. This ain't one of those It Only Sounds Interesting Because It's Foreign LPs... it's a killer. You'll love 'em
