Nippon Psychedelic Soul 1970-1979 / Various * Nippon Psychedelic Soul 1970-1979 / Various [New LP]

The kaleidoscopic psychedelia of 1970s Japan captured a fragile and fertile moment as the country sought it's future in funk grooves, heavy reverb and lyrical hallucinations.The follow-up compilation to Time Capsule's Nippon Acid Folk, Nippon Psychedelic Soul takes myriad pathways into the tripped-out undergrowth of 1970s Japan. Finding their feet at home and looking for inspiration abroad, the musicians featured here were engaged in the communal soul-searching that followed the breakdown of the 1960s protest movements. Some made it big, others drifted into oblivion. The music they left behind shimmers with intensity.
