"To me, the Mops are the undisputed *kings* of the late sixties/early seventies Japanese rock scene; all of their discs are marked by spectacular singing, playing, arranging, and songwriting.
Yet it is their first album, "Psychedelic Sounds in Japan," that gets the most praise, and rightly so; it's a *marked* deviation from most of the other musicmaking that was going on at the time in Japan, with a sharply stripped-down sound and an emphasis on musicianship, songwriting, and atmosphere over production values.
As such, it's one of the few Japanese rock albums that has grown an outside-of-Japan following, as it's frequently namechecked in lists of classic obscure albums."
