Some words on this issue: SAIMINJUTSU by ABE TADASHI:“Nyuumon” (Union Record – JLS-1) 1stcopy to emerge in a looooong time with obi. Top-notch copy of this beyond belief rarity out of the bowels of Teichiku/ Union Records early seventies scum psych weirdness. On the look out for totally obscure and below the radar early seventies Japanese weirdness to impress your few friends and records buffs with? Well then look no further, this will certainly do the trick. First of all Abe Tadashi is not exactly a name that will catapult your ass out of that lazy chair, unless you are acquainted with either the Japanese early seventies hypnotism community or with much sought after underground labels such as Tengu Records out of Osaka that released a similar cultural oddity by like Hikita Tenko. It is in a similar aesthetic that this Abe Tadashi disc falls into place. Abe Tadashi was an illusionist/ hypnotist and medical practitioner who got quite some minor fame in Japan in the years to follow. But at the time of this recording, Abe was just a struggling and largely unknown doctor and hypnotist who recorded this one oddity for Union Records. As might be expected, he tries on this recording to convince you of his powers, drowsing you off into a deep slumber as well as demonstrating his ability. Still that is not all that goes on and while Abe is doing his thing, there is quite some submerged musical activity going on in the background. Advertised as “musical hypnotism illusion” Abe is boarding on some weird musical endeavor, balancing on a loungey psyched out cocktail act that is trying to catch you off guard and let you seep into a deep slumber. The comforting voice of Abe that seems to be coming at you from beyond the grave is combined with the soft psychedelic musical vibes, deploying feedback and some other eerie effects that at no time sound disturbing create a weird atmosphere. The vibe is distinctly early seventies, spiced up with swirling light effects, velvet couches and a slightly drugged out vibe. This one will appeal to all of you insomniacs out there. Needles to say, this beauty is hideously rare and just never turns up here due to totally bummed sales at the time and the marginal public it was catering to, making that maybe only a handful are still in circulation today!
