Not simply the passing fads of &#8216;ain&#8217;t-it-oh-so-hep&#8217; genre rehashes-of-de-moment, but I&#8217;m talkin real-deal old-school underground shiz&#8230;naturally, this holds especially true when it comes to classic psychedelic prog. And therefore, I am honored to present to you this long-stuck-in-the-crates (or hard drive, rather) Japanese gem from yesteryear. [...]]]></description>

I know the traditionalist answer is &#8220;hardcore,&#8221; and there&#8217;s certainly no shortage of that subgenre&#8217;s DIY mentality within the band (to say nothing of their raucous live shows, which certainly have the aesthetic and feel of a hardcore gig), but that [...]]]></description>
