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 ear-splitting 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 the Vocaloid technology. Very popular in Japan, Vocaloid is a software/singing synthesizer: you enter the lyrics of a song into the program, add music, and then you can have one of the Vocaloids - or "Vocal Androids", mostly female - sing for you in a bizarre "android" type vocals. "Vocaloid" is often associated with J-Pop but on 'Psyche De Loid' Narita smash this "genre" into a wall with the contrast of killer, Ron Asheton-alike piercing fuzz-wah guitar and child-like "android" vocals, featuring surreal covers of tracks by Stooges, Hendrix, Blue Cheer, Shocking Blue, Pink Floyd, MC5, Jefferson Airplane. Previously available as a Japanese only CD, here's the first ever vinyl edition with new artwork.
