Munehiro Narita
, the original "psychedelic speed freak," is for many people the undisputed king of acid-fuzz guitar. Active since the late '70s, Narita is a Japanese psychedelic underground legend. After playing in cult bands like
Kyoaku no Intention
, he founded the brutal heavy-psych power trio
High Rise
in the '80s. His furious guitar playing, which involves lethal doses of fuzz-wah at earsplitting volume, can also be heard on his current band
Green Flames
(featuring
Mitsuru Tabata
from
Acid Mothers Temple
). In 2014 Narita released a Japanese-only CD titled
Psyche De Loid
, doing heavy guitar fuzzed-out covers of classic psych songs from the '60s/'70s. But
Psyche De Loid
was also the first-ever psychedelic album recorded using Vocaloid technology. Very popular in Japan, Vocaloid is a software/singing synthesizer -- one enters the lyrics of a song into the program and adds music to generate a Vocaloid -- or "Vocal Android" -- which sing in bizarre, mostly female, android-type vocals. Vocaloid is often associated with J-pop but on
Psyche De Loid
Narita smashes this genre into a wall with the contrast of killer,
Ron Asheton
-like piercing fuzz-wah guitar and child-like android vocals, featuring surreal covers of tracks by
The Stooges
,
Hendrix
,
Blue Cheer
,
Shocking Blue
,
Pink Floyd
,
MC5
,
Jefferson Airplane
. . . . Previously available as a Japanese-only CD, this is the first-ever vinyl edition with new artwork.
