Description / Review:
————————
The original 70’s private pressing from Japan was so far one of the unsolved mysteries which first appeared in the 2001 book from Hans Pokora. Itå«s so rare that it took nearly 2 years to locate an original copy of the album. This is Masayoshi Takanaka’s (pre Flied Egg) first recording, only released as a private press in Japan. The music is West Coast orientated hard psych with a progressive touch. All original material and very well produced. Great album!

Kudos to Shadoks for searching this one out! We’d never have heard it otherwise, and we’re glad we did. Dude from early ’70s Japanese psychedelic proto-metallers Flied Egg (who sounded a bit like Blue Cheer, and recorded for Vertigo!), by the name of Masayoshi Takanaka, made his recording debut in 1971 (yup) with this rare rare rare album of underground hippy conceptual weirdness, called Brush!? (punctuation theirs, but deserved). Quite a few other Japanese psych scenesters of the day participated as well. Results? There’s some truly freaked out shit here, and some really lovely, folky parts too. It’s an eclectic mix of the following ingredients, and more: acid fuzz guitar rockin’, atonal electronic experiments, gentle pop grandeur, organ drones, raga-like jamming, avantgarde piano improv, Velvets/Dylan balladry, and West Coast/Woodstock Nation psych. In other words, all over the place, and pretty darn tripped out!! Hearing reissues of interesting ’70s Japanese psych acts like Brush!?, Flied Egg, Far Out, Food Brain, Strawberry Path, Les Rallizes Denudes, etc. etc. it’s clear that all the great psychedelic underground outfits active in Japan today, from Acid Mothers Temple to LSD-march to Green Milk From The Planet Orange to (of course) the Boredoms, are keeping alive a grand tradition begun some 30+ years ago!
