I
was in Tokyo a few years ago and I was saved. I became
a born-again rock fan. My savior, the Japanese rock band,
Love Psychedelico. They testified from their cannon of
soon-to-be hit singles: Lady Madonna, Your Song, Last
Smile. As a disciple, I have spread the good music to
others via this Taiwan-only budget collection (which
I still see all around Taipei.) Converts are plentiful
and have gone forth and multiplied to what has been described
as Cheryl Crow if she rocked and had fantastic guitarist
who wrote great Pete Townsend-ish songs. The songs are
in Japanese and English at the same time. Yet, I have
seen a bar full of people singing along the first time
they heard these psalms. Singing in tongues, at the altar
of Love Psychedelico.
(Note: This collection is 3 singles, b-sides and miscellaneous
recordings from the time of their first release 2000, Greatest
Hits. That one and the next two albums can be found at the
most Taiwanese shops at Taiwanese prices.) |
