Description
Originally released in only 100 copies at a local festival on Mount Kyogamaru in 1985, this rare recording by an underground Japanese band elevates Hosono-esque vocals, dub beats, and reggae elements into dreamy mellow rock.
Para was a mysterious Japanese underground band that sold only 100 copies at a local festival held on Mount Kyogamaru in 1985 before vanishing without a trace. Their recording, "Para And A Flower," is now back in print on vinyl for the first time.
The album delivers ethereal, dreamy mellow rock, blending Hosono-esque vocals with dub beats and reggae nuances. This rare record captures 40 minutes of captivating soundscapes, with a floating sound that seems to detach the listener from everyday life.

“Hosono-esque vocals, dub beats and reggae vibes infused into ethereal dreamy mellow rock.”
The album just sucks you out of the current place and state you are in. And drops you 40 minutes later back. Whenever you put it on turntable, it opens a 5th dimension for you. Which is unfortunately limited with only a 40 minute stay.
Originally released in 100 copies by a mysterious Japanese underground band in 1985. Sold at their local festival on Mount Kyogamaru. No one ever heard about them ever since.
