Endless Endless and Kazuki Tomokawa (and Kan Mikami- Kazuki's creative twin), two more omissions that could at least have made the confused tail-end of the list. And the Hapmoniyms- Mako's best work for me.


The thing I like about Caesar's Shin Toku Maru is how much it sounds like a Japanese Magma (well, before every avant-garde Japanese band actually tried to be the Japanese magma). A wonderful psychey hell-opera I'd have loved to watch being performed.

From the list, my favourites are:

Les Rallizes Denudes - Heavier than a death... (though I pretty much always eschew this in favour of the flat-on bludgeon of 77 Live).

Karuna Khyal - Alomoni 1985. Sounds more heat-warped than a Lee Scratch Perry production.

Tokyo Kid Brothers - Throw Away the Books (you ever seen the movie this soundtracks? Shûji Terayama is probably my favourite filmmaker of the '70s. Watch this and Pastoral - To Die in a Country if you haven't.

Toshi Ichiyanagi - Opera... This guy would definitely make my Top 3 former husbands of Yoko Ono.

J.A. Caesar - Kokkyō Junreika or maybe Taj Mahal Travellers - Live 71
