Brand new DVD that bundles an improvised set from Overhang Party mainman Rinji Fukuoka in the company of guitarist Michel Henritzi (Dustbreeders etc) and projectionist Kumiko Karino with a full-on power blues set from the Overhang trio of Fukuoka, bassist/vocalist Sachiko (ex-Kousokuya) and drummer Kimiyasu Akiyama. Pro-filmed with a choice set-list that includes "Tokyo Zero Fighter", "Pyramid" and "Who Are You?", this is another excellent Japanese underground document that takes you right *there* and makes for an excellent companion to their killing new Live Before And After double CD. Limited supply, highly recommended.

Debut Japan-only release for this group led by guitarist/vocalist Rinji Fukuoka and born from the ashes of his legendary Tokyo psych group Overhang Party. The form here is more akin to early Overhang Party than the later, John Cale/Paris 1919-influenced material, with the trio getting back to crushing riffs, wasted solos and doomy, PSF-style death-decadent ballads. Majutsu No Niwa translates as Magical Garden and the first track bears the same title, exploding a riff lifted from The Rolling Stones’ “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and extrapolating it into feedback-heavy post-Velvets environs. Fukuoka is a great lead guitar player in the tradition of Maki Miura/Suishou No Fune/Okhami No Jikan et al and his more extended flights are a joy for anyone who worships PSF. And who doesn’t? Comes in a slim, fold-out stylish black sleeve with lyric sheet and English translations. Recommended.
