This is a super rare, one and done CD release from a Japanese band named NIWA. I can't recall anyone here ever saying they owned it, if you do please feel free to tell your thoughts on it, This CD has grown on me over the years and I really love it..

NIWA's musical style is the psychedelic, stoner, jam, space-rock, progressive vein, but with a Japanese feel, rather than the usual European feel to it. It features some very cool guitar work, with great musicianship and some hauntingly beautiful female vocals, so I'm sure plenty of people here would like it if they could hear it in its entirety.

There are (only) two songs from the album on YouTube, the first one is one of the best songs on the CD, the second is good too, the entire CD is a great listen:

It was released on Inoxia Records back in 2003. I bought my copy from a San Francisco Music shop that has since went out of business.

I'm bringing this up as there is one for sale on eBay, it's from a Chinese music retailer (with 100% positives) that I know nothing about, but I can verify that the photos of the CD, Liner and Booklet look exactly like mine.

And they do seem to match the photos shown on the Discog's site : https://www.discogs.com/Niwa-I-I-Har...elease/6955046

The price is listed at $11.21 (+ shipping) which is quite a bit cheaper than what they have sold for on Discogs ($29), so here is a rare chance for someone interested to jump on this great deal for a super rare and VERY good CD...!

Cheers (If anyone buys it be sure to report back here, with your thoughts on it... so at least their will be two us who own a copy...lol)
