Effectively their third album, with seven songs from 1969, and seven instrumentals from the same vintage, completed in 1998, plus an outtake and a soundtrack piece. A fine addition to their two essential albums.

‘Their vividly definitive statement: haunting tones from an unusual combination of instruments, filtered through multiple layers of reverb and delay. Their music has strong stylistic affinities with the trippy ambience of cosmic and psychedelic rock, but the Taj Mahal Travellers were tuning in to other vibrations, drawing inspiration from the energies and rhythms of the world around them rather than projecting some alternative reality.
‘The electronic dimension of their collective improvising was coordinated, as usual, by Kinji Hayashi. Guest percussionist Hirokazu Sato joined long-term group members Ryo Koike, Seiji Nagai, Yukio Tsuchiya, Michihiro Kimura, Tokio Hasegawa, and the renowned, enigmatic electric violinist Takehisa Kosugi.
‘Films of rolling ocean waves often provided a highly appropriate backdrop for their lengthy improvised concerts. This is truly electric music for the mind and body.’

The guitar pioneer with his groups the Bunnys and The Blue Jeans: hard surf to groovy 60s instrumentals, fuzz freak-outs to funk rock, from 1966-74.

The engrossing solo debut of the Animal Collective singer. Introspective, spooked psych — artful electronica and vintage American pop tangled deep underwater. The LP has a beautiful die-cut inner-sleeve.

Too experimental for their label International Artists, back in 1967.

Their seminal 1979 LP debut with Dennis Bovell at the mixing board. 180g vinyl.
