Sukeban Guerrila
Insane funky tracks from Japanese films of the early 70s -- a mindblowing collection that should do for Japanese soundtracks what Vampyros Lesbos did for European ones! The notes and titles are all completely in Japanese here -- so we have no idea whatsoever about the films or musicians -- but the tunes themselves are wonderful -- lots of heavy funk in a style that's clearly inspired by American films of the time, mixed with weirder numbers that really get creative on the instrumentation! At times, there almost seems to be an influence from Italian westerns -- which sounds plenty darn strange next to the American urban touches -- and other tunes even feature female lead vocals, sung in an emotive style that further deepens the range of work here, and which has us wishing we knew a lot more about this music! The whole thing's packaged in a very Crippled Dick-styled way -- with color images and a few nudie shots in the fold-out booklet -- which also doubles as a really great poster on the other side. 23 tracks in all -- and a mindblowing dip into under-discovered music!
Spiders - Spiders Movie Tracks
Mod mod grooves from this ultra-hip Japanese combo of the 60s -- a garagey group who burn with real intensity in this selection of obscure soundtrack material! The Spiders may not have reached big fame on this side of the Pacific, but back in the late 60s they were clearly the stuff of cinematic action in Japan -- as you'll hear on this great collection of soundtrack rock bits from 1967 and 1968! The 21 track package presents the group in all its fuzzed-up brilliance -- a hard-edged blend of Hammond organ, tripped out guitar, and pounding drums -- often topped with catchy sing-song lyrics that are still plenty compelling, even if you don't understand Japanese! There's a sound here that's somewhere between early Zombies material and some of the garagier side of the Sunset Strip underground -- but plenty of moments are very much of their own mind as well, thanks to inventive production and a very playful approach to the tunes. Titles and notes are all in Japanese, but the music is more than enough to get you started -- and the CD also features plenty of great images in the booklet, as well as a fold-out replica of an old movie poster!

Topless Japanese girls running around with guns and knives -- and some equally striking grooves to match! The collection is another one of those incredible Ultra Vybe packages -- a selection of completely obscure Japanese soundtrack work from the early 70s -- especially to ears like ours, only trained on the sounds of the west! As with other volumes, the styles here are a mix of guitar instrumentals, funky jazz numbers, off-beat pop, and other tremendous stuff -- all pulled together from vintage films, and re-assembled in a completely mindblowing batch of grooves! Unless you read Japanese, there's not much rhyme or reason to the whole thing -- but that's a-ok with us, because the music enough is plenty darn great -- well that, and the sexy packaging job too!

Mad funk from early 70s Japan -- served up in a blend of styles that's about as crazy as the cover image on the CD! The set's another one of those incredible Hotwax & Trax collections for Ultra Vybe -- an assortment of unusual grooves pulled from a variety of films, and served up in modes that are really different than the American and European soundtrack funk we know from the same time! A few titles feature female vocals, but most of the tunes are instrumental -- and feature instrumentation that ranges from electric funk to soaring strings, rumbling bass, bossa rhythms, warm woodwinds, and blasting horns -- all rolling madly from one tune into the next, and presented with images from the film and notes that are only in Japanese -- leaving us even more perplexed about the wonderful music on these 18 tracks -- but perhaps loving it all the more for the sense of mystery!
