One of the most creative talents in Japanese experimental rock, with at least 6 "must have" classics to his credit. Magical Power Mako could be seen as Japan's answer to Faust, similarly eclectic and creative, and on Polydor no less! In fact Faust references constantly appear in his work, although as a multi-instrumentalist (with guests) Mako does have a recognisable style all of his own: fuzzed guitars, oddball rhythms, and a so very Oriental way of singing. Especially recommended are: Magical Power (1973), Super Record (1975), Jump (1977), Music From Heaven (1982 - the original, not the reissues), Blue Dot (1995) and Volume 1 of the "Harmonium" series.
