Some words on this issue: NICHIRENSHU: “Gonkyou – Shomyo” (Teichiku – NL-2491) Subtitles as “The Morning Service and Shomyo of the Nichiren Sect”, it displays a heavy loaded album starting with heavy taiko drum sounds recorded at 5 AM in the morning which shifts slowly into the Hansho (calling bell) and a solitary priest chanting which heralds the whole community joining in. This is some heavy stuff, mesmerizing and displaying a heavy drone vibe all over, injected at times with calling bell sounds, sparse percussion and single-toned bell sounds. That lead up to single-voiced chanting which in its turns set open the floodgates for the whole temple to join in and come cascading down in a stream of droning heavy breathing voices. Just beautiful and another of Teichiku’s famed commercial failures of the early 1970s, which were afterward recalled and melted down, making that the remaining copies are quite hard to track down these days. Still the music on display is some of the finest in its genre. It gives La Monte Young a run for his money, high-tailing away beyond the yonder. Total levitational music. Highest recommendation. Comes all-complete with rare obi – stellar high quality audiophile recording in top condition.
