Umm... pre "Out" recordings of White Heaven with Michio Kurihara's psychedelic guitar solos freaking out & melting everywhere? Easy purchase of one of the most criminally underrated guitarists out there in his absolute zone.
Favorite track: Cold Hour -remastered edition 2021-.
After the live performance in 1987, which was later made into a CD as "Electric Cool Acid", the original member Tetsuya Sakamoto left and White Heaven became a four-member band consisting of You Ishihara, Michio Kurihara, Soichiro Nakamura and Ken Ishihara. For one year in 1988, the band spent their time in the studio doing sessions and experiments. The album "Levitation" is a collection of material from the missing link between Electric Cool Acid and the recording of their first album "Out" in 1990.
The album was released in the US in 1997 in a limited edition of 700 LPs, but sold out soon after and is now hard to find.
Track 5 are previously released as bonus track for “Electric Cool Acid” CD Noon Disk ’95.

Pop Boris isn't my favourite Boris, however their version of pop is sublime. Great live album with an absolutely banging version of Window Shopping.
Highly recommended.
