5 out of 5 stars The Acme, the Pinnacle, the Zenith, the Ultimate .......2007-07-04

I first heard Flower Travellin' Band on Hawaiian underground radio in the early 70's and captured Satori on reel-to-reel. It took about five more years before I found it on vinyl LP in a Japanese department store in Honolulu. Then a space of about 30 years before I again found it on CD. Each time was sonic Nirvana. This is a superb recording, one of a kind, I'd say. Don't think twice, just order it immediately! You will not be disappointed. When you play it for your like-minded friends, I know they will want a copy (but be fair to FTB, tell them to buy one from Amazon like you did).

4 out of 5 stars Amazing piece of Japan Heavy Pshych.......2006-11-10

When everybody in the west were dazed by the sounds of Black Sabbath, Depp Purple, Uriah Heep and so, in the east they were capable of rebuild this sounds and going further

A serie of bands heading by The Flower Travelling band were mixing japanese culture, psichedelia and heavy rock with a layer of mistery, angst and poetry...

This record has been a cult piece for many years, is the second of this band, they began covering their heroes in a first recording and on this everything learned is reflected.

Satori is structured in suites, above all i would sugest for first bite Satori 2nd, a song which would be the best thriller soundtrack, wich reflects how japan understood Black Sabbath. In sons as third suite japanese culture and music is very present, not making the songs boring but giving them a psichedelic style very original and enjoyable.

Now is reissued with original artwork and sleevenotes for every hard rocker delight

5 out of 5 stars OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-09-17

Order it immediately and count down the days until your mind will be blown. It's like Can and Black Sabbath made love and gave birth to Godzilla and instead of trashing Tokyo he just smoked out and ROCKED. Heavier than a thousand planets, tripper than if the end of of 2001 was really happening to you right now, and you really were a giant immortal baby hovering in space, and if that were true then forget Strauss, these guys would be the house band. Don't let next Thursday be another day that you've lived without hearing this.

5 out of 5 stars I was going to review this, btu the other 2 people are correct.......2006-06-08

Yes it is dank.

Now I really can't tell you anything about this. Only if you have seen the movie Deadly Outlaw:Rekka will you have ever heard this music. It is unlike anythign you have ever heard. Unless of course you are a black sabbath fan, you may get it right away. OHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEOOOEEEOOOEEEEEEEEOOOOOEEEEOOOOOHHHHH

You maynever listen to anything again.

WARNING:album is only 5 tracks, sound like black sabbath yet to you?

4 out of 5 stars One of the best 70's hard rock bands you've never heard before.......2007-06-07

This isnt the place to start with Flower Travellin Band.If you dont have "Satori" yet,go buy that & have your mind blown,and then come back to this review.
Ok,so now you're ready for more.Heres their first release,comprised of all cover songs.I feel that they impart their own stamp on these tunes,which should be the whole idea of doing covers in the first place.Interesting that they cover "Black Sabbath" the same year it was released(?)This cd is worth the price of that alone!

If you're even thinking of buying this album, buy it. This is one of the best albums I've ever heard. It's like Black Sabbath does Dark Side of the Moon.

5 out of 5 stars the 2 people below em make me feel like I have been living a lie.......2006-06-08

WARNING: this will sound similiar to other reviews. Now just so you folks know, The Flower Travellin Band is not widely known. This album came out liek 20 years ago, and I guess that I am just another person who saw deadly outlaw:rekka and had to find out everything possible about ths band. This album has 5 tracks, and they are all some of the best shlt you will hear. And yes, I instantly though of blakc sabbath when I heard the music. SO DANG YOU PEOPLE, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW OF JAPAN'S BLACK SABBATH:)


Oh well, go out and fet this, I promise you will not be dissapointed, btw-you will need the movie for the subtitles for the japanese lyrics:)

You will need to be able to hear every word ozzy speaks to understand the english on this album:)

5 out of 5 stars NOT ENOUGH STARS!.......2006-04-26

prime Japanese proto-metal truly essential for all you scholars of the heavy..Heavy in every sense of the word,truly psychedelic stuff - personally,dont hear too much of the Sabbath vibe here but it is fairly riffy for the time!The blending of East/West elements just makes this trip all the more unique.YOU GOTTA HEAR THIS!!

5 out of 5 stars Rockin'..........2005-05-03

I first was introduced to this amazing import from the Takashi Miike film Deadly Outlaw Rekka. My only regret is not knowing of this band sooner, contained here on Satori is what I would consider part of early metal history. To describe the sound, the easiest description I could give would be to say they are the japanese Black Sabbath and if you are a fan of Sabbath and other early metal pioneers you owe it to yourself to pick up this import.
