Heavy, psychedelic, emotional rock'n'roll with loud guitar feedback, as only the Japanese can filter (come, on, you know the drill).

Otherside of
(Pataphysique - DD89) 2xCD + 7-inch $40.00 (Out-of-stock)
Tokyo psych mainstays from 1990 to 2008 who, according to Dusted, “mixed the melodies with the mope to achieve a Paisley Underground sort of effect, albeit with virtuosic guitar freakouts by leader Rinji Fukuoka…. [M]ajestic melodies, challenging and progressive outlines, ripping leads, and proper song structures … recorded in Japan rattle the cages of … young, “tribal” drug-pee band[s]… with the skill and professional freakout-making abilities they all lack.” The seven-inch contains two songs from the band's 1999 US tour: “Le Few Follet” with its pop-psych layering and dueling lead guitars that are thick and confident and “Cut Up Us,” a collage of sounds from the entire tour and symphonic tapeloops.
Overhang Party

Reissues of the long out-of-print debut LP by Rinji Fukuoka and Co., at their formative nucleus in 1993. Avant-garde, improvisational, amazingly soundscapular. The beautiful and the abrasive. Edition of 500.
Overhang Party
(Mutant Music) Used LP $16.00
Originally released in 1993, this 2008 LP shows the long-standing interest of Rinji Fukuoka, Iwao Yamazaki, and Kouji Nishino, plus Kunukunu guesting VCS3 synthesizer, in the avant-garde and improvisation, featuring soundscapes both beautiful and abrasive, as well as glimpses into the saturation of their more “rock” side thanks to particularly expressionistic guitar work. Edition of 500
