Some words on this issue: KAHASHI KATSUMI: “ Paris 1969” (Philips – FX-8004) This folky that was often labeled as the “ Japan 's answer to Tim Buckley” made only three albums, of which one – his second LP – was released on the legendary Vertigo swirl label. This one is his 1st album, recorded and conceived in Paris in 1969 when the city was still reverberating from the revolutionary upheaval of the previous year. Kahashi certainly made a big impression with his often overlooked debut album. Of course, the comparison with Tim Buckley is understandable since he has a similar burning urge concealed in his vocals, spiced up with an urge and inflammable passionate howl. But still it goes a little further and it would be so unfair to only compare him with Buckley. To these ears, he also is heavily influenced by the passionate melodramatic urge of the French chanson, a passion that is also detectable in those early Scott walker albums. In short, the album is awesome. If late sixties Japanese folk-singer-songwriter-chanson and lysergic twists and turns are your thing then look no further.
