"Tone Float" by Organisation (1970)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Organisation "Tone Float"  1970 (Germany)
Ralf Hutter turns 72 this week; before he and his partner Florian Schneider founded Kraftwerk and perfected "electronic pop", they made this jammy experimental album. Organisation was a large group featuring tons of percussion instruments and a "world music" flavor, and their sole album was released very early during the first wave of the "krautrock" era (I think only Can and Amon Duul II had albums out before them). Needless to say, it was not a big seller at the time, and Kraftwerk have famously disavowed all of their albums prior to Autobahn (the first three and the Organisation album have never officially been reissued, though they are much bootlegged.)
Also on the show this week: here's clips from a bunch more of them Japanese ladies! KOM_I, the funky cool queen from Wednesday Campanella! Far East Mention Mannequins, or FEMM, are a pair of "living mannequins" who may be too American for the Japanese market and vice versa, but their music is quite interesting "progressive electronic pop." Of course those cute kids from BABYMETAL, who are the most globally popular Japanese band of this decade. Karassu Wa Masshiro means "A Crow Is White", and they seem to be a funky "indie rock" type band, famous for their animated videos. Then of course there's Haru and Kyary!
