Sadistic Mika Band - Golden Best |
Japanese only, 2004 greatest hits compilation covers the Japanese rock act`s first three albums, `Sadistic Mika Band` (1973), `Black Ship` (1975), & `Hot Menu` (1976), as well as a couple tracks from their 1989 release, `Appare`, which maintains the 70s rock sound. The band received much critical acclaim for their 1975 British tour with Roxy Music. Sadistic Mika Band formed in Japan in 1972 & made Japanese rock that could reach out to the rest of the world. Three of their albums were released through EMI`s renowned Harvest label - this compilation covers those albums as well as including a couple of tracks from their 1989 release "Appare". In summary, this compilation provides a mixture of pop & prog rock with influences from early 70`s fusion(think "Blow By Blow" by Jeff Beck), reggae & rock. You`ve never heard anything quite like this! Japan`s answer to Roxy Music themselves, or was it King Crimson or Mahavishnu Orchestra? But if you were a rock fan in the
early/mid 70`s, they were all over in mags like Creem. 18 songs.
