Japanese Rock...Prog or Not...

[interbellum]

And now a new Electric Asturias:

I got a note from CDJapan saying the delivery was delayed for about 3-4 weeks.

Hmmm.. Got some info from a guy already owning it for a few days...

And how I wish I could be there:

Hope they record that one!!!

Maybe CDJapan has some trouble with their supplier, not with the label.
Well, I'm a patient guy

Musea Records does have it in stock for a normal Price (for France that is)

I think it is that: If you don't accept our Prices we will not list your product for 30 days
stuff that Plattforms like Amazon do..

Maybe I missed it because it's a long thread but I don't see any mention of "Kami-sama I have Noticed." Probably because they're on the pop and rock charts in Japan but they're really inventive and the musicians are as good as it gets.

A couple more groups from the Japanese pop charts that (to my ears anyway) that have some major prog elements

Hopefully, they will record and release this show. Using Google Translate, I saw the band that is scheduled to play and it lists a violin player by the name of Akihisa Utsui. Is this a different player that Akihisa Tsuboy, or it's the same player but under a different name. After all, how many Akihisa violin players can they have in Japan?

Google Translate always has problems with Japanese.

If you enter the Japanese symbols to Google you end up on Tsuboys Webpage, so it is him.

This is one of the shortest previews I've seen: for the new, 5th album of Lu7, coming this Winter:



And a reminder of their fourth album on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJ...LUgqhhMSo8WGoQ

Here's the official music video for the new Lu7:



Does anyone know the meaning of 3395?

Electric Asturias arrived today, so CDJapan's email was a bit odd.

[JAMOOL]

Lu7 sound exactly like that Japanese jazz-rock combo Fragile

For sure! Sometimes I'm reminded of Soft Machine (Vol. 2 and Third, mostly). I ordered the colored vinyl edition.

Thankx Zappa for the H.U.!:
It goes directly to my "wishlist".

Sweet!

I have made some overspending lately, so I will hold for the moment. Enjoy.

Very good stuff, but that album is like 32 minutes. Definitely makes me think twice. I'm not one for super long albums, but 32 minutes seems exceptionally short to me for this day and age.

I am not a fan of long albums but 32 minutes is short indeed. Anyway, it's a good start...

Great album indeed!

[Zappathustra]

Great album indeed!

Sometimes it's way retro, there are a couple of songs that are like copy-paste from Uncle Meat or Softs Third. At the end of the alvum things get more original. Great promise!

Thought some following this thread might be interested in new(er) music from Green Milk from the Planet Orange. Apparently the band reformed a couple of years ago and released their third full length album (appropriately named Third) in May of this year. If you liked 'City Calls Revolution' from about 15 years ago (!) then you'll llikely find something to enjoy here.

new Sheena Ringo album has some bangers

[Zappathustra]

Listening to Ground Zero - Last Concert on the advice of a friend. The musical equivalent of Godzilla invading the big cities. Brilliant!

And here I thought I had caught 'em all. Christ, I missed some amazing groups. Back down the rabbit hole I go!
