I posted the OG album way
back here-- more than 10 years ago (wow!)-- and described it as a masterpiece, which it still is, upon relistening. I didn't realize they made more music, 30 years after that first one, and onwards until three years ago. In those subsequent albums though they did repeat or rework tracks from the 1st record unfortunately, so there's less original stuff than one might expect.
You can see the discography
on this page.In terms of new material, the title tracks will give you a good idea of the band's competence and continuation of the prog KC influence, from If Tomorrow Comes Part 1:
Journey to Babel:
Dagger of the Mind:

I have Noa count of how I missed this the first time around. Much obliged.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Wonderful progressive rock, beautifully played but without overdoing it like Japanese bands sometimes do. Truly splendid albums. Thanks, Bravo!
ReplyDelete'without overdoing it like Japanese bands sometimes do' -- indeed
ReplyDeleteThe first album is soooooooo Camel, really stunning! Please find more music like this! :)
Deletehaha, could be not much left out there yet undiscovered
DeleteDo you know Japan's instrumental prog outfit Kehell? They may be a bit too rockist and not enough fusion for our tastes but I quite like them. Search for "Kehell - Topic" in the YouTubes, if anyone's interested. I'd offer to upload the CD but all my collection has been buried in storage for the last 6 mos. But see here, I remembered to search your site before lame-posting my comment !
ReplyDeleteThanks for this latest batch. Since you were asking for requests, how about a collection of Soil and Pimp Sessions- Japan's answer to Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers...on speed. Thanks!
