Sadistic Mika Band (サディスティック・ミカ・バンド) – Black Ship (黒船) (1974, Japan)

Black Ship (or Kurofune) is Sadistic Mika Band’s second LP, regarded as an influential album in Japanese rock history. The cover art plus the fact that this band’s name is a parody of “Plastic Ono Band” – “sadistic” a reference to how Mika used knives in the kitchen – tells you exactly what this album is going to sound like. It’s quirky, it’s breezy, it’s delightful. The band would break up after the following album but would go on to do more wonderful things (Yellow Magic Orchestra, anyone?), so this is a lovely rabbit hole to go down.

This “soundtrack” to Apocalypse Now is more dialogue than music, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing here.

Music from The Doors, along with classical pieces & score music, yes.

However, also TEN (!) narration & dialogue tracks, three of which are 5 mins or longer.
Put this on only if you’re ready for… THE HORROR.
