Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end.

We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

"Join Our Mental Phase Sound"
Nipponjin
The FAR EAST FAMILY BAND

Germany (space ship) VERTIGO - 6370 850
FAR EAST FAMILY BAND play a spacey, laid back style of music with English vocals.This band was originally called FAR OUT and put out one self-titled album out under that name.
The music of this far east band has its roots in psychedelic space rock. It deserves an obvious comparison with German "kosmische musik" lead by Ashra tempel, Klaus Schulze and the legendary Kraut-space pioneers from the early '70s.
"Join Our Mental Phase Sound" starts off with the long "Nipponjin" title track, which combines synthesizers and Mellotron. The music starts of with spacy electronic effects, synthesizers, and exotic electric sitar. Mellotron is used as a heavenly backdrop, setting the mood perfectly, when the music kicks in to a wonderful ballad, with drug oriented lyrics. After a few minutes, the ballad is over, and kicks in to a wonderful acid inflected guitar jam. After a couple minutes, the music slows down once again, with the cosmic electric sitar once again enhancing the trip. The adventurous track concludes with chanting in "Om", with some chanting in Japanese as well.
The next song, "The Cave" is sung in English,with an intense interlude sung in Japanese.
"Undiscovered Northern Land" sounds like something Klaus SCHULZE might do, with Mellotron and bamboo flute (SCHULZE did produce the album, but did not play on it, and the album was recorded in Japan).
"Timeless" is one of the more rocking numbers on this album, guitars & drums on edge.
"The God of Water" is simply an ambient piece, that segues in to the ballad "River of Soul". Several more pieces segue in to each other, before the final piece, "Mystery of Northern Space" being more dramatic than the rest, and it also has some heavenly backing arrangements, quite fittingly.
Bottom line: an excellent solar space/acid rock combination from the mid '70s and on par with pretty much any of the legends of the era.
CONDITION: The cover: Rated: "EX" (excellent) laminated and overly a collection keeper with no upgrade necessary, it's fine all around. Colors are bright, seams are solid, no seam splits, no faded colors, no bends, no writing ...
The vinyl: Rated: near M- and plays delightful ... overall full of bright shine and overall played very enjoyable here - and should for you as well. Both German VERTIGO labels are in solid shape, clean, no problems.
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
