Some words on this issue: MIZUTANI KIMIO: “A Path Through Haze” (Polydor – PLP-7609 – P-Vine) UNPLAYED DEAD STOCK copy from ages ago. Comes with insert. Kimio Mizutani was a non- prolific musician, whose name keeps popping up in various formations such as the Adams, the Outcast, Milk Time, Sato Masahiko and the Soundbreakers, Uganda, etc. He was the acidic guitar gunslinger for hire in the early seventies, while the psychedelic Japanese underground soared high skies. Mizutani however cut one solo album, the “Path through Haze” disc, a document that was recorded in a single day at the Nippon Gramophone Studios. The result was a completely instrumental affair, coming about after an improvisational jam session spun around Mizutani’s lyrical and driven guitar play. The album was released by Polydor and disappeared almost instantly into oblivion since it was virtually unnoticed by the music press. Failing to attract the public attention seemed to be a constant factor throughout Mizutani’s career. Even the following project he took part in, the nine piece musical commune People with their “Ceremony ? Buddha Meet Rock” that was released by Teichiku Records in December 1971, failed to attract any interest of the public or press. But this does not degrade his output one tiny bit. As the “Buddha meet Rock” disc, “A Path through Haze” is certainly as mind blowing and acidic dangerous listening material that will keep on echoing through the canyons of your mind if exposed to it. Stunning psychedelic masterpiece and completely vanished. Beautiful copy and completely mint.
