DEMA (Columbia, 1972)
A cosmic "Bitches Brew" cum "Weidorje".
After a cosmic intro, the dueling ensembles (Garan-doh and the Kohsuke Ichihara All Stars) settle into a "Bitches Brew" styled workout. Then, in the last ten minutes or so of the album, searing synths bring us to realms akin to Weidorje or "De Futura" styled zeuhl, albeit with a jazz pulse instead of zeuhl's rock meters. Strangely, the piece is abruptly cut off before a natural climax is reached, replaced by a pasted-on distorted sputter, followed by a cosmic outro. Note that the CD reissue at least lists the artist not as "Dema" but as Tsutsui, Yasutaka / Ichihara, Kohsuke / Satoh, Masahiko and the release date as 1973, not 1972.
