What we say

Rating: happy This record left our BRIAN D feeling happy.

Curious new releases on The Great Pop Supplement. The first is a kind of slo-mo acid jazz funk thing which has elements of old Tortoise affiliates Five Style. It's a double 'A' side 7" in a circular monged sleeve by Tranko, a Japanese troupe who first offer up a minimal, psychedelic instrumental groover called 'Neko 77'. However, 'Mujam' is inbued with a very Indian feel, all Sitar & tabla psychedelic acid freak out man. Definately the side for me is this, very spiritual & hypnotic, a snaking, winding trip out of your mind leaving you thoroughly de-stressed! Ant closes his eyes & envisions being caressed by a rampant barefoot hippy chick in a chill out room in his big dippy Welsh head! What would his lass say? Limited to 300.

What the label says:

formidable debut from Japanese psych band. two whacked out sitar / moog jams like some holy acid mothers / popol vuh jam with ananda shankar at the controls. incredible blissed out, cosmic kraut madness all wrapped up in amazing circular indian art sleeves, 300 only on 7' wax.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
