PEOPLE Ceremony ~ Buddha Meet Rock (2009) ( 1971 Japan Psychedelic Rock, Folk) Full lp ( 5.1 ch )

People biography PEOPLE were formed during a short term in 1971 as an (nearly) occasional ’shooting star’ project to produce a novel psychedelic rock by blending their rock sounds and Buddhist Shomyo (sutra). All the members were renowned and talented Japanese session musicians - Kimio MIZUTANI (guitars, sitar), Yusuke HOGUCHI (keyboards, voices), Hideaki TAKEBE (bass), Kiyoshi TANAKA (drums, percussion), and Rally SUNAGA (gong, percussion). Calling Naoki TACHIKAWA as a producer and a director, they released a solemn and mysterious psych rock album ’Ceremony ~ Buddha Meet Rock’ (1971), which was much appreciated by worldwide psychedelic rock fans.
