I
have never heard of this Japanese artist before. The record features 5 tracks
and starts with a really nice acoustic track with spoken words and flute and a
mellow beautiful vibe and it even later includes some nice sitar playing as
well. This song made me smile. Zo No Senaka continues the mood of the opening
track with more sitar but now there is a mid-paced driving song with some space
rock elements as well. Later on a really nice wah guitar solo compliments that
change in the track well. Tree Smoke is an instrumental track and has great
dynamics mixing cool guitar, heavy riffs, sitar, and a really spacey
atmosphere. Cool stuff. Flip the record over and you start off with Lazy Stoned
Monk. Think that you are at a monastery
and you hear the sound of dripping water, some distance voices, sounds, then
the deep drone of sound begins to trickle in, some bells, and then some slow
building guitar lines and percussion creep into…you get the idea… Dawn ends the record with a nice long
psychedelic guitar driven piece but also with some sitar. This album really
caught me by surprise.. I have not seen anyone write about it and it is really
excellent. Good for Sunday morning and fantastic artwork.. I love the cover.
