Akira Ishikawa & Count Buffalos - Electrum




In 1970, they released an album of extremely accomplished but very conventional Burt Bacharach covers. Then, in the same year, they dropped this monster. There are parts of the structure that echo the earliest Mothers Of Invention albums but really this is hyped up jazz with a funk heart. The musicianship is truly jaw-dropping.

It took THIRTY SIX years before anybody thought to repress this ... seriously, what is wrong with people?

I hate funk, unless made by a Japanese or Germans.
Thank you.
