MC,
By all costs stay far away from that box, as it is a deluxe, high priced collection comprised of latter-day Broadway/Noh tune extravaganzas more suited for those of a liberetto-following disposition

The outtakes EP of '69/'70 material was the only salvagable thing out of the mess -- and THAT was only a handfulla songs (*sob*)

J.A. Seazer's "Kokkyou Junreika" is excellent -- unfortunately, it's fairly out of print at this point

MC,

Tenjo Sajiki's Death in The Country soundtrack and Throw Away the Books Let's Go Into Streets are twisted operatic/orchestrated freakouts with some cool fuzz guitar excursions and doom riffage (particularly the opening to Death in the Country) The actual "songs" on these cds are absolutely fucking monster (though they're all under 3 minutes...bummer) Unfortunately, there's a lot of sparse spoken word bullshit and not enough jams. I will gladly burn you these for they are certainly not worth 34 bucks a piece.

and Seth, thanks for the info on the Tokyo Kid Brothers box. I had been planning to save up for it (based on the pulverizing genius of "Throw away the books..."), but now i know better.
