PEOPLE / CEREMONY BUDDHA MEET ROCK (LP)

People's only work in 1971, featuring Outkast's organist Yusuke Hoguchi and guitarist Kousei Mizutani, Adams' Hideaki Takebe, and percussionist Larry Toshinaga. Produced by Naoki Tachikawa, it was created with the concept of Buddha + Rock. It is full of unique psychedelia sounds such as the sutra chanting ``Nam-myoho-renge-kyo'' with a fuzz guitar in the background, the sound of a monk's geta, bells, wooden fish, sitar, etc. Although it uses a lot of sound effects reminiscent of Buddhism, it doesn't feel like a religious idea, and the work is overall easy to listen to. In recent years, this album has been highly desired by DJs as a breakbeat material and as a spiritual record.
