The latest work from EXHUME EXHUME, a reissue project supervised by FLATT THE LAIDBACK!
In the mid-70s, the self-produced album ""Knights Company"" was secretly produced and sold in very limited quantities as a 2-disc set (LP + EP)
by members of the Knights, a light music department at Kitakyushu City University.
Not only is it a rarity, being almost unknown even among connoisseurs, but this work boasts high musicality, fusing a black soul feeling strongly
influenced by JAMES BROWN and others, with a bluesy and melodic West Coast sound and AOR feel.
Its charm has not faded at all even now, many years after its production, and it continues to shine brilliantly.
A miraculous masterpiece that is the trajectory of youth by the sharp young people of northern Kyushu who once dedicated themselves to music!
It has been reborn as a compilation album with condensed content, complete with high-quality remastering by 8ronix (Bullpen lab.)
and a delusional band designed by osagodard (browse depart/luminous body)!
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Our miracle was triggered by a single word from the late Otaki.
"Why don't you make an original and put it on an LP?"
Everyone wondered if it was really possible to do something like that.
But gradually, their eyes began to change.
From there, they spent six months creating their own music.
They wrote songs, arranged them together, practiced, stayed up all night recording, and even made a vinyl chloride record.
I'll never forget the help from friends other than the band members.
I can't believe we were able to do something so crazy.
That LP was revived for the first time in 47 years thanks to a certain encounter.
It's the second miracle.
Yoshio Nojiri (Gt.Vo.)
