tenkujin

Fifth and final release by Far East Family Band (if you include the 1973's Nihonjin released under the Far Out banner), Tenkujin was the first of the band's albums to be released in the US on the small and short-lived Calfornian-based All Ears label. Without Kitaro, who by this time had departed to persue a solo career, the band reverted to its earlier balled-based sound, this time supported on drums by former Samurai alumnist Yujin Harada. The expected Pink Floyd influences appear in abundance, although this time the songs are sung partly in English and in Japanese. Another solid album from what many consider to be Japan's finest new age/psychedelic group.
