カルメンマキ & OZ – カルメンマキ & OZ* – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

カルメンマキ & OZ’s self-titled debut stands as one of the most influential documents of Japanese rock’s fertile 1970s underground. Released in 1975, this album captures a moment when raw emotion and urgent social commentary collided with the heavy, psychedelic textures of progressive rock. Led by Carmen Maki’s unmistakable voice—at once vulnerable and commanding—and the virtuoso musicianship of OZ, the album weaves together thunderous riffs, blues-infused solos, and moments of stark, poetic introspection. The songs stretch out with fearless ambition, echoing Western rock influences while forging an identity that is unmistakably Japanese. Each track feels like a journey through the psyche, propelled by Maki’s electrifying presence and the band’s dynamic interplay. For collectors, this album is more than an artifact—it’s a testament to the boundary-pushing spirit of an era when Japanese artists were boldly redefining what rock could be. Owning this record means holding a piece of musical history that continues to resonate with urgency and passion. If you’re drawn to albums that challenge, inspire, and reward repeated listens, カルメンマキ & OZ deserves a prized spot in your collection.
