MIZUTAMA SHOBODAN - A Skyfull of Red Petals

"Mixed by master Fred Frith and released in Japan in 1985 this is Mizutama Shōbōdan's sophomore album. Another dangerous ride with the fearless "Polka Dots Fire Brigade" and a further step into the Japanese dreamland. Contains printed inner sleeve and four-page fold-out insert.""Mizutama Shōbōdan were a force of nature -- powerful and original and unapologetic. I saw them live before I heard the first record and was very impressed. I liked the way the group interacted, it was a very good atmosphere between everybody. I really liked the contrasting sounds and styles of Kamura and Tenko, two very different kinds of voices that really worked well together." - Fred Frith
