Ai putada, voces não pediram mas eu voltei
Este talvez seja um dos melhores discos que eu já escutei na minha vida
Quando vi que era uma banda japonesa sinceramente não esperava grande coisa
Mas quando escutei me deparei com uma obra prima, com variações incríveis nas músicas, ou seja é um cacete de disco
Voces devem escutar inteiro, e a minha música predileta é a título do disco, realmente de arrepiar os pelos do cú
Fodam-se baixando esta maravilha

Hey your fuckink freaks
This is perhaps one of the best albums I've heard in my life
When I saw it was a Japanese band honestly did not expect much
But when I heard I came across a masterpiece, with great variations in the songs, so it's a hard cock
You guys should listen long, and my favorite song is the album's title, really raise the hair of the ass
Fuck you downloading this wonder

Blues Creation - "Demon and Eleven Children"
Reissue CD
of what is Often Considered one of the heaviest hard rock albums from
early 70s Japan. Looking for Sabbath Influenced heavyweight guitars? Do
you like T2, Leafhound, Cactus? This is your stop.
Acid rock, prog folk, psych hard blues - "boiler"
music definitions the is a lot of the seventies, and none of them will
not give the full picture of this period. On one hand, opposition to the
hippie idyll, on the other fascination with mysticism, magic and drugs -
that was the reality of many bands of this decade, from Led Zeppelin
and Deep Purple at the forefront. This influence did not rely
(hopefully) also Kazuo Takeda and his legendary band - Blues Creation,
like other Japanese bands of that period, drew his inspiration handfuls
from the West...
moreover, became the basis for the style and the subsequent success
of the group. Takeda himself did not conceal such friendship with the
English musicians of the band Mountain, or fascination Tonny'ego
Iommiego - licks.
"Demon and Eleven Children" has achieved its
position long after the release - in the first years of existence in the
musical ether was regarded simply as another nice album from this part
of the world. It was not until the next generation of fans has made this
particular Blues Creation album became one of the most important in the
history of Japanese music of the seventies.
The difference between them and, for example, Far
East Family Band and Speed, Glue & Shinki is that Takeda group
introduced to his work very little - oriental feelingu. Psychedelic
riffs combined with a cheerful blues racing with romantic compositions,
and the throbbing bass with lots of pain straight to the drum.
Virtually anywhere you could hear but not this typical, Japanese
element. Right or wrong, everyone should be for this approach in its own
way...
This album to one of our many dig of the past decade!
One
of the hundreds of hard rock bands that remained hidden under the
shades of the big groups of the ‘70s and the have begun to come out in
the surface, due to the work of some collectors!They were formed in the
late 60’s in Japan and their sound had been influenced by the hard rock
groups of the time and from electric blues, of course. We could just say
it's essential, Japan's answer to Black Sabbath. And maybe that's
enough, but since we dig this album so much, let's go for something a
bit more expansive...
First off, Blues Creation's "Demon & Eleven Children", their
second and most classic album, dates from 1971. That's right, 1971!!! Of
course it does. They'd started off in '69 with a record of all blues
covers, but by '71 they'd heavied-up, and were ready with an album of
originals, obviously influenced by the likes of Black Sabbath, Led
Zeppelin, and Deep Purple's In Rock...one of our many dig of the past
decade!
Among early '70s Japanese heavy psych hard rock
bands, these guys (next to, arguably, Flower Travellin' Band) were
indeed the heaviest we've heard. And definitely the most Sabbath (though
FTB did cover Sabbath... and Flied Egg came close too, even putting
albums out on Vertigo). But really, just listen to the opening track
here, "Atomic Bombs Away". No question. Sounds like a song Sabbath wrote
for their first album, but let Blues Creation have instead. Heck If you
Didn't Know Better, it really sounds like Iommi's playing the guitar
riffs and solos, and Geezer's on the swinging, lumbering bass!
Obviously, it's heavy, gotta be when it's called "Atomic Bombs Away" (we
wonder if it was was weird for a Japanese band to title a song that,
only about 25 years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki). The song ain't
actually about atomic bombs, actually, like most of the tracks on Demon
& Eleven Children, it's about lovin' and leavin' (or being left).
Which can be heavy stuff too. Sample lyrics from "Atomic Bombs Away":
"First time I lay you in the rusty shack / Black night keep fallin' in
your gypsy eyes / Keep on movin' till the end of time / Lord have mercy
for my sin / Set me free from my destiny".
The next track is called "Mississippi Mountain Blues", complete
with harmonica... but it's urgent and rollicking, and in any case about
as conventionally blues rock as they ever get here. We call this
proto-metal for a reason. Just check out the rockin' riff-fest of an
instrumental, entitled "Brane Baster" (aka "Brain Buster"), to see what
we mean. It's not all about Sabbath emulation, either. They're
proto-Priest in parts, too, or at least, they've got tight twin guitar
action on here that'll impress the Wishbone Ash and Thin Lizzy fans.
Definitely pretty badass for when and where they were from. Tracks like
"Sorrow" do the slow and sad thing pretty well too. It's not all heavy -
there's the gentle "One Summer Day", as lovely as its title suggests.
But if you want heavy, '71 style, this album won't disappoint you at
all, indeed, you'll be freaking out. It concludes with the epic, and
ripping, 9+ minute title track, and if you're not bowing down to Blues
Creation by then, your name had better be, like, Ritchie Blackmore.
From a point of view, though, it's top ten material, and we're not
just talking Japan. Up there with Bang and Dust and Buffalo and Leaf
Hound and all the rest and God only knows how many we will still hear!
They put however their own mark in the history and glory of dynasty of
rock! Kazuo Takeda, his guitar strings here....
StonerRock.com interview w/ Kazuo Takeda of Blues Creation:
Ra’anan:
What bands were you listening to that influenced the change from the
straight up blues-rock of the first album to the heavy rock of Demon
& Eleven Children?
Kazuo: In those days I was listening to mostly
British bands like Jeff Beck Group, Deep Purple, Eric Clapton (Cream,
Derek and the Dominos, Blues Breakers First), Alvin Lee, Toni Iomi, Love
Sculpture, Climax Blues Band, Savoy Brown, Colosseum, Humble Pie, just
to name a few. I also listened to several American bands such as The
Allman Brothers, Cactus, Blues Image, etc. in a way, listening to the
so-called white blues kind of led us into a louder, heavier, harder rock
instrumental ensemble. We also felt kind of a necessity to write our
original songs and as a result the band’s sound changed to being more
rock oriented.
Ra’anan: What is the meaning of Demon & Eleven Children?
Kazuo:
I have absolutely no idea. Sorry. Perhaps something the record company
suggested or maybe some other band member came up with this weird title.
The idea of every song and its riffs came before its name.
Ra’anan: You released both Demon & Eleven
Children and the album with Carmen Maki at the same day. Why did you
decide to do that and why were both albums so musically different from
one another?
Kazuo: Carmen Maki was a very well known Japanese
folk and pop singer. All of a sudden she came to me and said, “I wanna
sing rock. Will you help me?” Her record contract with Sony had just
ended, so our record company at the time (Japan Columbia) wanted to get
her in any means they could. That’s how big she was. So, I organized her
album as a project. Since she was new to this kind of music, we picked
up material from her daily listening records and I wrote some original
songs for her accordingly.
Ra’anan: How big were you in Japan after these two albums?
Kazuo:
We were very happy to play around in almost every outdoor rock festival
in Japan. In those days, rock music was still considered underground
and the mainstream Japanese pop market was always strong, but we were
proud to be one of the leaders to do something new for the young
generation of Japanese music fans.
Ra’anan: What are your thoughts today about Demon & Eleven Children?
Kazuo:
I know there are some fans of this album, especially in Japan, but to
tell you the truth, I feel a little embarrassed about it and it’s hard
for me to listen to it today since it was done so long ago, when I was
really young (19 years old) and it’s so innocent.
