Among all the rock bands that came up in Japan in the beginning of the seventies, Flower Travellin´ Band was the one that left a work of bigger dimensions.
Unfairly submerged under the corporate action and the great quantity of occidental bands that standardized rock music, the records of these Japanese people were completely unprepared (the same as many others of that time), and despite the fact that they were put out for the rest of the world by big record companies such as Philips and Atlantic, they are minority cult records with a great value in the record collector market. Shady works that get great artistic levels.
Travelling in time, we discover that at the end of the seventies the psychedelic scene in the country of the rising sun started to rise, thanks to all the influences that came from America and Europe. The Flower Travellin´ Band started from the Flowers project, or for being more exact, Uya Uchida (precursor of the idea) & the Flowers, a blues-rock psycho seminal formation that made personal covers of bands such as Cream, Jimmy Hendrix, Big Brother & the Holding Company and Jefferson Airplane.
