KOUSOKUYA “Echoes from
Deep Underground” CD+DVD archiveDVD1 for those that don’t know Kousokuya are
a cult garage pysch rock trio formed in the 70’s in the Tokyo
underground music scene by main member, and recently deceased Jutok
Kaneko. Despite having existed for 20+ years the bands output has been
fairly sparse with a few releases on PSF and one domestic US release
on the Forced Exposure label. Originally the archive release was to
be comprised of a fantastic live performance on CD from Osaka in 2001
but having discovered the existence of video footage from the same performance,
coupled with the efforts of James a bonus DVD was added to the mix.
This release represents to date the only video document of Jutok and
Kousokuya released in official capacity and realistically represent
a chance for fans of obscure psych to see a band and artist that basically
played outside of Japan only a handful of times. This pressing of 700
copies comes packaged in a ½ fold heavy black stock cover with
metallic silver and gloss varnish silkscreen work by the wonderful Alan
Sherry of SIWA records. The CD and DVD come in black envelopes held
together by a silkscreen obi strip.
