(_|(_| Notes: |
| First CD reissue of a very obscure Japanese private press folk |
| album from 1973. Australian artist Paul Adolphus recorded the |
| album in Kyoto/Japan, playing guitar, vocals, flutes, |
| shakuhachi. Totally vibed-out "personal" folk-psych. "My first |
| visit to Japan was in 1968 after living in India and Sri Lanka. |
| My wife at the time arrived in Kyoto, and had our first child |
| there. We really loved it. We returned to Sweden then went back |
| to Kyoto and had our second child there. We lived in a 200 year |
| old farm house in a village outside Kyoto. It was a great scene |
| at the time. Japanese artists, bohemians, and visiting |
| foreigners making art, music, poetry, etc. I was playing music |
| with different people, then developed a musical relationship |
| with Mitsu Harada. We did concerts and toured to other cities |
| in Japan together. Before leaving Japan, Mitsu organized to |
| record the album together. Mitsu's father was the grand master |
| of a calligraphy school. In a large room in the school, Mitsu |
| set up mics and a big stereo recorder consul. Most of the |
| playing was by Mitsu and myself, an American friend played a |
| little guitar and percussion to fill some holes. A group of |
| friends sat around, so it was a bit of a living room concert |
| feel. It was my material, Mitsu engineered as well as playing. |
| I think there were 200 copies pressed, the covers were hand |
| made, so it was released into the small arts community of Kyoto |
| and Tokyo. Not long after the recording, I travelled with the |
| family to Australia, I had been away from here for a decade. I |
| worked on a lot of projects here, composing for theatre and |
| dance. I had a group called Living Music -- an African drummer, |
| Indian tabla, didjeridoo, winds, etc. It was early days, not |
| too many people were ready for world music." Incredibly rare |
| and sought-after mellow folk album with beautiful songs and |
| harmonies, like a Japanese version of Extradition. |
