Description
TOKYO KID BROTHERS - The Moon Is East The Sun Is West (Saiyuki) LP Dutch only 1972 album by rebellious Japanese theatre troupe TOKYO KID BROTHERS. Music is mix of theatre/avantgarde/rock musical, "Hair"-like stuff with UNDERGROUND PSYCHEDELIA! Recordings made by Hans Muller from Amsterdam at Oval House Theatre Club London. Obscure early 70s UNDERGROUND PSYCH ROCK PEARL from Japan! Japanese lyrics. Private Dutch pressing on the unknown Son label from 1972. The laminated cover and the record are in near mint condition.
Monster Japanese cult underground experimental rock. Almost all of the albums they churned out during the late seventies and eighties are completely crap, but their initial period from 1971 till 1973 is just great. Psychedelic Dada-ism, theatrical lysergic pleasures, demented fuzz intersections, wild keyboard playing by Hiro Yanagida (Food Brain, Sato Masahiko & Soundbreakers, Milk Time, etc) demented choruses, female wailing crescendos, rural esoteric fertility rite like incantations, exorcist ritualistic tribal stomping, totally insane one liners.
This is the second Dutch private pressing of this freaky Japanese acid drenched, political activist theatre outfit. Actually the recording for this album, which came out one year later after Story Of Eight Dogs, was made during a performance in London, but was only released in The Netherlands in limited quantities. More information about Tokyo Kid Brothers in the previous post.
The music consists again of some real communal psychedelic jams combined with cheerful songs and a lot of humor. Through this stance the Tokyo Kid Brothers are also able to express their criticism on certain things in society. Unfortunately, unlike their early Japanese releases, most songs are cut off quite early which doesn't allow them to get into real long jams, but it's nevertheless really enjoyable. You really get a sense of a community feeling during the play, because they always interact with the audience. Also during the first couple of songs a baby is crying throughout the recording.
Some of the highlights on the album consist, among others, of Motorbike in which they mix a song in Japanese with yelling "Motorbike". In another song called Jumping Song, one of the Japanese girls is "looking for the monkeys" and tells people they look like a monkey in a very playful manner. The most psychedelic jam is Goeika. Other songs are about Mao, socialism or have hippie titles like Budist Trip. Of course part of the NWW-List.
