yeah, just the thing for insomnia - sit in a dark room very late at night with headphones or very good speakers (strangely key for this very low-fi music) and brood, or just sit and wait

how weird. I just saw this post now, two minutes after reading an overview of them on what I just found out is your site.

Anyway, post what you've got.

(A-Z)
Blind Baby Has its Mother's Eyes
Cradle Saloon '78
Heavier Than a Death in the Family
Live 1972
Mizutani
Studio Soundboard 1967-1975 (haven't listened yet)
Volcanic Performance (I just listened to all four hours of it now)
Yodo-Go-a-Go-Go [Flightless Bird]
'77 Live

I would say if you want me to upload any then just ask, but I found them all quite easily online, so... Though I'd like some early stuff, specifically 67-69 Studio et Live.

Also I just bought some glasses similar to Mizutani's here:

I am obsessed.

Yeah, I wrote what you just read about five years ago right after I first heard of them through headheritage ... not sure what I have, I know I downloaded most of it from one particular blog the name of which escapes me but it shouldn't be hard to find. I like to either pick one or two tunes and space out to them, or put the whole collection on shuffle, although that can break the mood since the sound varies so widely between "albums" ... I think the only "performers" who I have as many hours of music by are Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan ... maybe Jimi Hendrix ...

Heavier Than A Death In The Family is quite brilliant in the right context, havent got anything else of theirs though, could anybody help me out?

Get 'Yodo-Go-A-Go-Go [Flightless Bird]'.

Finally got around to checking them out but, first I want to know why there is a lack of mention for their terrorist bass player.

mizutani is pretty badass, aesthetically too.

I heard '77 Live a few months ago and with my headphones on at a maximum volume all that remained of my brain by the end was a gelatinous, malleable goo that you could probably put in an ice cube tray. Listening to the abridged version Heavier than A Death in the Family right now and I'm getting the same effect (even though it's essentially the same songs as '77 Live bar one... The actual ordering and the lack of "The Last One" make it feel kind of like a different experience entirely).

What a band. I've heard their material diverges off into different genres, too, so if they can keep this hypnotic, brain-melting aesthetic to their music while doing that I know I'm going to be happy with them. Great stuff.

Bump

This band deserves a bit more attention in my opinion...

Anyways... '67-'69 Studio et Live and '77 Live are my favorite releases from them. '67-'69 Studio et Live has some really outstanding heavy psych tracks and a good look into what they were beginning to do as far as noise rock goes... '77 Live is a bit self-explanatory. All you have to do is listen to a few of its tracks to understand how amazing it is.
