Christine 23 Onna – Space Age Batchelor Pad Psychedelic Music [LP] (1996, Insignificant)

And so Yamazaki Maso steps away, ever so slowly, from his brutal sound world as Masonna and into the retro-psyche you always knew lurked inside him. Along with former Angel'in Heavy Syrup guitarist Toda Fusao, Christine 23 Onna pull a one off piece of Kosmische Musik somewhere between Maso's own Masonna and Space Machine projects, Amon Düül, Royal Trux circa 'Twin Infinitives' and The No-Neck Blues Band. Free psychedelics at times subdued and, at others, brutal, permeate all of 'Space Age Batchelor Pad Psychedelic Music's tracks (the title a play on the classic Esquivel LP, the songs named in homage to films or OST conventions, pointing to the groups increasingly retro 'soundtracky' atmospherics). Fusao, who played a stronger role in steering the creative ship on later releases, takes the back seat on this album, though her contributions show off her incredibly strong sense of classic 60's style riff logic without resorting to worn out tropes. Great album by a great band. [SOURCE: RATE YOUR MUSIC]
