Bump
this sole, proper album by
Ohkami No Jikan is really fantastic. been listening to it daily for a week or more.
also, "Mellow Out" is actually back in print and available online. figured it was OOP forever. i am fully obsessed with this band. much better than High Rise i'd say...
this one too. all that singer/songwriter stuff on PSF never really grabs me but this one is a winner.

Mainliner is awesome. Sonic is fantastic, as well as everything else they have put out.
Asahito Nanjo...wow..I like him a lot. You can't go wrong with Kawabata Makoto.
Kosokuya's Jutok Kaneko is pretty amazing as well.
I still like High Rise a lot though.

Yura Yura Teikoku. That roughly translates into, "The Imperial Sway." THey are real good psychedelic fuzzed out rock band. They frequently jam and are the best unknown Japanese band by a country mile.

This is not their usual sound but the video makes me laugh...

That's a great band name.
I'm surprised
Buffalo Daughter has only been mentioned once in this tread because they are fucking great!

Whoa, strange. I just received 3x3x3 in the mail yesterday.
Edit: After listening to it, I must say that it is not quite my thing. Too, um... 01 - わかってほしい.mp3

Les Rallizes Denudes trumps Yura Yura.
The Flower Travelling Band (Who Miike used on the Deadly Outlaw Rekka
soundtrack) is pretty rad also.
Saw Hanaki and Akira Brutal Duo the other week. Excellent.
A bit like Ruins but with a guitarist, or a very noisey Hella if you want.

Z - post-punk w/ alto sax
Maruosa - electronic fuckery
Gallhammer - doom ladies
Lite - little bit like Don Cab
DJ Scotch Egg - gameboy breakcore, lives in the uk

Man guys, where are the 5, 6, 7, 8s in this thread? Jeez.
On a more serious note, I'm surprised no one here mentioned Suishou No Fune, heavy Japanese psych, that's also very sparse. The one track I have of them makes me think of OM in that it's very minimalistic and repetitive. They've been released here in the states on Important and Holy Mountain.
