KIMIO MIZUTANI-

A Path Through Haze

NEW CD IN MINI LP REPLICA CARD WALLET

BAMBOO

"Regarded as one of the absolute best albums from the Japanese 70s scene, this 1971 release by Japanese rock guitar hero Kimio Mizutani is a psychedelic-progressive masterpiece.
Tons of fuzz guitar, moog, keys, impressive drumming. Something like a wilder King Crimson."

CD reissue of this ultra-rare 70s Japanese rock album.

Kimo Mizutani was the guitarist in the excellent Japanese Freak-out group, Love Live Life + 1 and this reissue is of his first solo album from 1971. Mizutani plays electric and "folk" guitar and leads a largish ensemble (bass, drums, organ, Moog and vocals) through what is widely regarded as one of the true psychedelic masterpeices of the 70s Japanese scene. Sensitive interludes (accompanied by the Toyama String Quartet and the Etoh Wood Quartet) , tasteful nods to progressive/fusionist extension and a lovely, hovering psych guitar from Mizutani dominate proceedings. A nice merger of hard rock concxeptualisation and the complexities that would evolve from it.and until now, almost impossible to hear within the confines of Western Society.
