Red Krayola - 'Japan In Paris in L.A.' (Drag City)

(3 out of 5 stars)
"Decent live audio document of Red Krayola's tour of Japan in March, 2005. Main downside is the duration of this disc is a mere 31:50. First half of this CD is a bit too out-there for me but all is not lost - the last four tracks here make this title all worthwhile. Liked "The Surrealist Dream No.2", "Storm Sequence", the almost seven-minute tripping "The Green Gun" and "Death Of A Painter". Heard that Mayo Thompson and company did a six date U.S. tour not too long ago. Can't believe this Texas psychedelic / Avant Garde band is even still in existence. More power to 'em."
