The Golden Vessyl Of Sound

Classic rare gem from K Records that appeals to fans of experimental music as well as instrumental rock. I found this after enjoying White Rainbow and was not disappointed. I highly recommend this album, it's a great listen

The band's name translates from Japanese as "Dream Beats". My first encounter with Yume Bitsu was made through [local] radio and their sound stood up from the rest of the so called Space Rock/Indy seen.None of the songs on Golden Vessyl of Sound have titles. Yume Bitsu created the tracks out of improvisations, fragments, and barely structured pieces, and the band felt that it would seem contrived to create titles in retrospect. It's fitting, because the resulting album is hardly something that can be broken down into simple songs. If you are looking for similar bands to compare their sound, I find that "My Bloody Valentine" mixed with "Godspeed, you black Emperor" would be a good equivalent and especially on this album. Golden Vessyl is hardly mellow, ambient music. It is a difficult album that demands your attention. Golden Vessyl is quite rewarding and well worth the effort, you time and money![...]

Hazily flows from one song to the next. Each song is hinged on an amber drone that threads the individual pieces into a living whole. Generally a mellow -- even somewhat trippy -- proceedings, with fewer of the tense moments that crop up on "Auspicious Winds."Rock mostly in instrumentation...it's pretty far removed from a Chuck Berry or Ike Turner record. More like a soundtrack to a half-remembered dream.
