Description

FAR EAST FAMILY BAND '??? Tenkujin' LP (UK, Phoenix Records, Catalogue #ASHLP3046 ) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2011 Phoenix Records label LP edition of scare 1977 Synth-Heavy Cosmic New Age Prog/Space Psych album by Japanese band Far East Family Band (originally released in Japan in 1977 on the MU Land label.)

(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)

The fifth and final release by Far East Family Band (if you include 1973's Nihonjin, released under the Far Out banner), 1977's Tenkujin was the first of the band's albums to be released in the U.S. on the small and short-lived California-based All Ears label. Without Kitaro, who by this time had departed to pursue a solo career, the band reverted to its earlier ballad-based sound, this time supported on drums by former Samurai alumnus, Yujin Harada. The expected Pink Floyd influences appear in abundance, although this time the songs are sung partly in English and in Japanese. Another solid album from what many consider to be Japan's finest new age/psychedelic group.

- "From sniffing paint thinners alongside Too Much and Speed, Glue & Shinki in department-store record-company showcases to transcendental meditation, via marijuana, LSD, Krautrock, the Moody Blues and New Age healing techniques, the members of Far East Family Band did it all..." --Julian Cope, Japrocksampler
