I am the god of hellfire

Yet another busy day, and that means another short post. Today we've got a couple songs from the GS I Love You: Japanese Garage Bands of the 60's compilation released on the Big Beat label in 1996.

I like this album a lot. The fuzzed out, farsifa-riffic garage rock sound made the trans-oceanic voyage fairly well, and even when the end results turned out terrible (as they did on a few of the tracks), it's an entertaining kind of terrible. Case in point: today's featured songs, beautifully mutilated phonetic English versions of Sam and Dave's "Hold On, I'm Comin'" and the Crazy World of Arthur Brown's "Fire".

The Voltage - Hold On I'm Comin'
The Swing West - Fire

Big Beat released a follow up compilation, GS I Love You, Too, in 1999. You can score used copies of both albums on the cheap at Amazon.
