Munehiro Narita, the original "psychedelic speed freak," is for many people the
undisputed king of acid-fuzz guitar. Active since the late '70s, Narita is a Japanese
psychedelic underground legend. After playing in cult bands like Kyoaku no Intention,
he founded the brutal heavy-psych power trio High Rise in the '80s. His furious guitar
playing, which involves lethal doses of fuzz-wah at earsplitting volume, can also be
heard on his current band Green Flames (featuring Mitsuru Tabata from Acid Mothers
Temple). In 2014 Narita released a Japanese-only CD titled Psyche De Loid, doing
heavy guitar fuzzed-out covers of classic psych songs from the '60s/'70s. But Psyche
De Loid was also the first-ever psychedelic album recorded using Vocaloid technology.
Very popular in Japan, Vocaloid is a software/singing synthesizer -- one enters the
lyrics of a song into the program and adds music to generate a Vocaloid -- or
"Vocal Android" -- which sing in bizarre, mostly female, android-type vocals.
Vocaloid is often associated with J-pop but on Psyche De Loid Narita smashes this
genre into a wall with the contrast of killer, Ron Asheton-like piercing fuzz-wah
guitar and child-like android vocals, featuring surreal covers of tracks by The
Stooges, Hendrix, Blue Cheer, Shocking Blue, Pink Floyd, MC5, Jefferson Airplane.
Previously available as a Japanese-only CD, this is the first-ever vinyl edition
with new artwork.

NRC 3 ANGELES DE OPIO ANGELES DE OPIO LP 05.2016
Angeles De Opio was an underground heavy-psych power trio formed in 2005 by Spanish
guitar god JC Sisto (Mater Dronic, Shakti's Delirium), with Sergio and Adrián Caballos
(Rip KC, Melange). The LP contains two side-long tracks of wild acid-fuzz-wah guitar
jamming. Of course, JC Sisto is a killer guitar player, but on these recordings he
pushes his 6-string outings beyond the stratosphere without any limits. This is 100%
acid fried guitar damage which brings to mind fellow Japanese travellers like
High Rise or Mainliner, and '70s hard-rock beasts like 'Stoned Guitar'-era Human
Instinct.
