This band is from Japan and is the first japanese album I write about. Flower Travellin' Band's 1st album (with the actual band name) from my birthyear 1971 is a complicated piece of work that is very hard to describe. When it comes to Japanese culture, art, music and so on it is many times "over the top" and very difficult for many to understand. This piece of music is inspired by the psychadelic wave of the time and probably by japanese music without knowing anyting about it. The guitarsound is never heard of before nor after this album. Very sharp and loud. There's not much singing but it doesn't matter much.
1)Satori Pt. 1 (6,0) Heavy and psychadelic hardrock. Too chaotic and monotone at the end.
2)Satori Pt. 2 (5,0) Very monotone shuffle-like heavy hardrocker.
3)Satori Pt. 3 (8,0) 10 minutes long instrumental psychadelica and I like it. They made this song in a very cool and interesting way.
4)Satori Pt. 4 (5,5) 11 minutes slow and a little too monotone and with some harmonica-guitar soloing.
5)Satori Pt. 5 (5,5) Very progressive 8-minute song.
Score: 6,00
