Flower Travellin' Band

Musical Group

Japanese rock group noted for a heavy, psychedelic sound in the early 1970s; best known for the album Satori and for raga-infllected guitar work.

Reviews on DeBaser discuss Satori's heavy, trance-like, raga-tinged psychedelia and praise a cover of Black Sabbath. The debut Anywhere is noted as mostly covers with uneven vocals. Singer Joe Yamanaka is mentioned in contemporary review commentary.

Two reviews on DeBaser give a mixed picture: Satori is praised for its heavy, raga-tinged psychedelic sound and a celebrated Black Sabbath cover. Anywhere, the band's debut, is judged modest and uneven, dominated by covers and inconsistent vocals. Overall: admired for moments of heavy genius, criticised for execution and vocal delivery.

For:Listeners of 1970s psychedelic and proto-metal, collectors of Japanese rock, fans of heavy/raga-influenced guitar music.

 "Stand quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself" (ancient ZEN saying).

 "Satori" is not a masterpiece, it is a very good album.
