Some words on this issue: ITSUTSU NO AKAI FUSEN: “New Sky Part 1” (URC Records – URG-4006) First of all, one has to be careful. The band released two albums housed in almost identical jackets (two concept albums released in close succession). This one here is part one, which is the best one of the series and also the greatest disc Itsutsu no Akai Fusen ever put down to wax. Spearheaded by “Melting Glass Box” instigator Nishioka Takashi, Itsutsu no Akai Fusen attempt to meander further on the atmosphere that was instigated with Melting Glass Box. The A-side has a sidelong track that meanders into some delicately crafted psychedelic folk, infused with nature sounds and intoxicating vocalizations. Music wise far removed from the harsh Mikami styled folk attack, still “New Sky Part 1” is not less lysergic enchanting, be it only that it inhabits the opposite side of the spectrum. Summer sounding, pastoral enchantingly mind bending qualities and outdoor sound source insertions certainly to the trick and elevate you while sitting on a pink mushroom cloud and hoping to meet Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Music-wise, the sound of this disc can be best described as the early excursions of Crosby Stills Nash and Young (Déjà Vu period vocalizations) mixed up with a laxative induced band of acoustic forest dwellers hoping to score some codeine. Great disc released in 1971, first original press with obi, foldout hard cover jacket in imprinted 4 paged insert and original brown rough papered inner sleeve. ALL COMPLETE COPY.
