Masami Kawahara & The Exotic Sounds

& The Exotic Sounds, resurrecting another aspect of the sub-

cultural sexual contaminated fumes that intoxicated the late

sixties and early seventies underbelly of swinging Tokyo.

Originally released by Columbia Records on March 1970, Kokotsu

/ Ecstasy is here re-released for the first time. Sonic-wise,

the disc unleashes a whirlpool of Latin styled mondo -

sexploitation sounds that get spiced up with feminine

breathing and respiration sounds, moaning and hissing,

igniting a maelstrom of assorted eroticism and sexual

depravity. In all, it resembles a caged vixen engaged in

sexual intercourse, hatching out cries, moans, sighs, words

and other sounds such as the crackling of a whip and such,

bringing out fully every possible sound made by a ballbuster

in heat.

The name of Kuwahara Masami may be an unfamiliar one but he

was the person responsible for giving Ike Reiko her distinct

sound on the record Kokotsu no Sekai, for which he provided

the musical backbone and arrangements unto which Ike could

utter her depraved songs. The album Kokotsu / Ecstasy however

was recorded slightly before his engagement with Ike Reiko

but, just as Kokotsu no Sekai, it's erotic presence flutters

across a multitude of erogenous non-verbal modes - moaning and

uttered shrieks of ecstatic pleasure, sibilating suffocated

whispers of excitement, and grunting and growling of a caged

and sexually charged vixen. Certainly the sounds of this

record which leave nothing to the imagination as to what is

going on, sounds which set forth the act of sexual heavy

petting in its most lustful aspects and leaving nothing to the

imagination, surely causing erotic and lustful sexual

stimulation in any normal person upon spinning this disc.

If you dug Ike Reiko, then this is definitely a worthy

successor dwelling in the same regions of depravity.

One time only limited press, housed in a sturdy hard card

mini-LP styled gatefold sleeve. Digitally remastered from the

original master tapes and graced with faithfully reproduced

artwork and obi. Comes with 4 pages of extensive liner notes,

complete with an interview of Kuwahara Masami.
