Datetenryu-Datetenryu['71 Japan Psychedelic Prog- Rock]

Highly Recommended
and do leave comments and click my
banners(on the right)
i got this one from Lizardson by email(from japan)
excellent Progresive Psychedelic Rock
their guitarist was a les rallizes denudes member
and also played in the band Brain Police (Zunou Keisatu)
this album is quite rare,and i never saw it on soulseek
or any other p2p programs

some info:
Funky bass, swirling keyboards, melodic riffs, epic, soaring solos -- Japan's Datetenryu sports all the hallmarks of the notorious psychedelic prog-rock genre. And well it should: This group from the Kansai area (Osaka/Kobe/Kyoto) dates back to 1971, and is considered a prog progenitor in its native land. The band -- which was named after a racehorse (Datetenryu loosely translates as "cool flying dragon")
an underground band formed in 1971. They apparently played a kind
of psychedelic progressive rock with blues touches. Guitarist Hiroshi Narazaki was also in Brain Police and Les Rallizes Denudes . There are numerous CDs available covering recordings from 1971-1981, but I don't think they released any albums at the time. The only CDs I have titles for are 'Datetenryu' [rec. 1971], 'Unto' [Belle Antique, 1978/1997?; out of print] and 'Red Afternoon Blues' [Walking Press Records, 2004]

Wow, I'm lagging behind severely on the Japanese psych but this one's a particular standout. Never heard of it before, and I like the sleeve too. Always great finds at Cities On Flame.

this one is quite underwhelming to me. the keyboardist is obviously in control here, and the long tracks go on and on.that's my opinion!

Awesome! Great to hear this at last. (Last track didn't do itfor me though). I think that's my Japanese psych & prog page from Record Heaven the last paragraph is from in the write-up... at least I can describe it properly now for that page ;-)
