It’s difficult to unravel the deep historical mystery of these recordings (Korean-only text not helpful), so I don’t know exactly when these tracks were recorded, although the date 1972 appears at the start of the booklet; having said that, there’s no mystery about the greatness of the three long tracks on this disc! minimal moody vocals don’t interfere in the slightest with the incredible fuzz and wah-wah guitar solos, the groovy and weird keyboards, the monster drum solos, or the oboe (yep, the oboe); truly psychedelic songs with all the strangeness that a non-Anglo approach to trippy music seems to engender, with touches of the Doors and early Hawkwind, if you need non-Asian reference points; I now fully comprehend why Koreans call this Shin Jung Hyun’s best record, and “a psychedelic gem".
Track List:
1 Beautiful Country 9:56
