Slap happy Humphrey...

A Japanese trio who only made one LP that mixes traditional folk with lovely feedback.The CD was withdrawn due to publishing issues but there are few still about on ebay..

Sounds interesting. There was a time when i was going through a lot of old Japanese bands like the Mops, Flower Travellin' Band, Happy End, Flied Egg and Blues Creation, but i hadn't run across this one.

Anonymouse - thanks for the cool stuff!
and... "Obscure, misunderstood, terrifying, unpredicatable and boundry-pushing." - definition of art in general, right there. or what it is supposed to be, for me

See the art before the music. Atleast thats how I listen to music, and play it. I'll always be an (f)artist first.
I'm thinking we may have some similiar important musical/artistic views, dude.

agreed though i don't doubt that you know alot more about music of this sort than i do.
so. i know you write/play, am i correct?

yeah..john lennon sitting in his big house with all his cash singing "imagine no possessions"...i doubt that he ever did..

Hmmm but APC album was much more deep and beautiful something like "wanting peace --- no more wars" they're awesome

Curious in that most of the guys went on to form Alice Cooper. As could be expected, this is most reminiscent of Alice Cooper's first album "Pretties for You" which was more psychedelia than what they became known for on later Cooper albums.
