Here is the debut album by Japanese progressive/psychedelic rock trio Speed, Glue & Shinki.
Eve was originally released on June 25, 1971 but has since been digitally remastered, which is the version I give you.
Some of last.fm's ever-insightful artist description:
"With Kabe's crunching atonal bass runs and Smith's stop-start rhythms creating a unique foundation for Shinki Chen's euphoric blues, combined with Smith's dangerous outlaw lyrics and caustic Iggy Pop-like vocal asides, gave the band an edge that no other Japanese band could (or would have wished to) achieve.
They took their name from Kabe's love of sniffing Marusan Pro Band glue and Joey Smith's obsession with amphetamines, as evidenced by the lyrics of many Speed, Glue & Shinki songs (all lyrics being written and sung by Smith)."
"Eve is a bluesy, psychedelic album, with Chen's Hendrix-style guitar playing firmly underpinned by Smith's insistent percussion style modelled on the playing of his idol, Ginger Baker."
I don't fucking know. I just really love it. It's hazy and reminiscent of some lost era.
