This is the 1st album released in 1974 by Yonin Bayashi, a Japanese progressive rock band formed in 1971 by Daiji Okai (ds), Katsutoshi Morizono (g), Shinichi Nakamura (b), and Hidemi Sakashita (keys). Yutaka Motegi and Masahide Sakuma had not yet joined, and it's a UK progressive rock with a strong influence from Pink Floyd's "Meddle," but it unfolds psychedelically with an incredibly high level of technical skill that was probably top-class in Japan at the time. The album has 3 songs on side A and 2 songs on side B, but the way a single worldview is created throughout all the songs is truly typical of progressive rock. Katsutoshi Morizono's guitar playing is truly amazing.
There are two tiny pinholes in the jacket.
A3: Omatsuri
