[@freehamandcheese]

Woah. The Japanese psychedelic music scene is fucking cool as hell

[@memedumpster1402]

Very few people will actually hear this song, but the ones that do are lucky

[@nateTheNomad23]

3:07 is breathtaking

[@oksimoronko]

reminds me of "take five"!

[@michaelphillips9007]

Because it's a 1 - 4 groove with minor sevenths in 5/4.

[@jzac77]

Also blind faith - do what you like

[@kingdo22]

Not just 5/4 time but has the same feel of 1andand345

[@daveski7]

@@kingdo22 That makes no sense lol. the first part is 4/4 then changes to 5/4 then to 6/8 and back to 5/4

[@mijkolsmith]

Yeah it’s so annoying, they did that with a few of their other albums a little while ago and they eventually came back. Best off buying the album!

[@mariabonet]

[@AtYourC3rvix]

The panning guitar at 5:45 is absolutely gross and i love it

[@TheHalfways1]

just stumbled on this... this is great

[@Desertrockmtn]

I too, discovered Kikagaku Moyo through the almighty Earthless. What a show that was. This track reminds me of the Allman Brothers. In a really good way.

[@aditrock6715]

What song by Allman Brothers anyway?

[@omarcapaso7156]

@@aditrock6715 i guess how some of the all mans songs are pretty jamy, a lot of improv kind of thing. It also reminds me of the dead in that aspect where they just jam for long periods of times

[@sethmoore8484]

@@aditrock6715 "whippin post" and "done sombody wrong" from At Filmore East are similar jams to this by the Allman Brothers. The whole album is a really good document of their live sound.

[@sajalrahman007]

I find it from Spotify

[@neonada.official]

Spotify cuts better payment deals to big artists which is detrimental to smaller lesser known projects and, obviously, morally bankrupt. Stick to Apple music or YT music. They pay all artists the same rates. It’s not much better it’s just the lesser of evils. Rock on dude!

[@cowjigga8950]

[@DonKinda]

Saw them for the 1st time at the Greek, Friday 11/5/2021. They did this tune, isn't it a take-off from a Quicksilver song, Gold and Silver?

[@sashoradoulov3504]

During the 5/4 part of this song, the beat is pretty much the same as the one in Take Five by Dave Brubeck.

[@gmoner]

cause it’s one of the best 5/4 grooves used in many songs

[@sashoradoulov3504]

@@gmoner You know any others that use it?

[@gmoner]

@@sashoradoulov3504 i guess i was exaggerating by saying “many” songs, cause there aren’t too many popular songs in 5/4, but this groove of having the emphasis on the & of one, three, then having the 4 and 5 be like their own measure of 2/4 is the best way to approach 5/4 in my opinion. I like writing music in 5/4 personally so i use this same groove a lot as well, here’s another example also: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXvcgaemocmVbZo. David bennett has a good video about songs in 5/4 as well.
