CEREMONY BUDDHA MEET ROCK
(LP)
TEICHIKU/LAWSON (JAPAN) / TEA20
12 Inch
Peoples Only Work In 1971 Featuring Outkasts Organist Yusuke Hoguchi And Guitarist Kimio Mizutani, Adamss Hideaki Takebe, And Percussionist Larry Sunaga. Produced By Naoki Tachikawa, It Was Created With The Concept Of Buddha + Rock.
It is full of unique psychedelia sounds, such as the sutra chanting "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" backed by a fuzz guitar, the sound of monk's geta, bells, wooden fish, sitar, etc.
Although it uses a lot of sound effects reminiscent of Buddhism, it doesn't feel like a religious idea, and the work is overall easy to listen to.
In recent years, this album has been highly desired by DJs as a breakbeat material and as a spiritual record.
