About
Much like Travelin’ Band or Speed, Glue & Shinki, Blues Creation was a Japanese acid-rock band born in the late ‘60s. Prior to starting the quartet, guitarist extraordinaire Kazuo Takeda had laid witness to both America and Europe’s burgeoning proto-metal scene. Inspired, he assembled Blues Creation back home and recorded a 1969 eponymous debut of blistering loud blues-rock. Takeda took a different approach on his 1971 sophomore album <i>Demon & Eleven Children</i>. “Atomic Bombs Away” opens, worshipping at the altar of Black Sabbath with brontosaurus-esque guitar riffs and a sludgy stomp before “Just I Was Born” weaves twisted leads around throttled rhythms as frontman Hiromi Osawa sings through a Leslie speaker sounding like “Planet Caravan”-era Ozzy. The epic title-track stretches nearly ten minutes blasting doomy power chords through what can only be towering Orange amplifier stacks. Not content to play within the confines of a pigeonhole, the rootsy “Mississippi Mountain Blues” opens with harmonica to usher in British flavored blues-rock before “Sorrow” boasts some jazz-tinged improvisations.
