Absolutely wild that this precognitive Japanese psych rock collective arrived at these sounds way back in 1971 – it blows minds just as effectively today. If Black Sabbath and Cream jammed in a Buddhist temple it might approach this explosive effort. A free-flowing combination of heavy blues, psych rock, proto-doom, and Indian music, this informed similarly-adventurous bands like Earthless, Boris, and Acid Mothers Temple. Boundary-pushing director Takashi Miike even used the album to score one of his films.
