Monorail Music (Glasgow, Scotland) has been talking up this release for several days now. Upon listening to "White Awakening" I can definitely hear an even looser Pastels sound here. But then "Vertigo My Other Conviction" kicks in with 11 minutes of mayhem.
Les Rallizes Dénudés was formed in the early 1970s in Tokyo and The OZ Tapes represent a long lost chapter in their existence. This music has been stored for the past 1/2 century and is now seeing the light of the day.
Frankly, these two songs are pretty different. As I said earlier, this moves from The Pastels/Velvet Underground, to intense psych-rock (Think if High Rise had a little more psych rock in them).
This is being issued on Temporal Drift (Los Angeles) which looks to be a new label specializing in lost Japanese rock gems.
