Like Flower Travelin’ Band, Blues Creation and Gedo, Japan’s Speed, Glue & Shinki played heavy, psychedelic acid-rock that attracted a huge cult following in the early ‘70s, especially amongst Tokyo’s motorcycle counter-culture. Shinki Chen was considered Japan’s Jimi Hendrix, which makes sense after listening to his lysergic leads that melt all over the middle of “Sniffin & Snortin PT1,” the blues-based boogie-rocker that opens their 1971 debut album. Riff-rockers “Bad Woman” and “Red Doll” display a love for Leslie West and Mountain, especially the former, which sounds heavily inspired by “Mississippi Queen.” Smith croons in a throaty Louis Armstrong style on the sludgy stomp of “Flat Fret Swing” before getting experimental with a Moog on the 13-minutes-plus space jam “Sun ~ Planets ~ Life ~ Moon.”
