"Marble Sheep is a Japanese heavy psych band formed by ex-White Heaven guitarist Ken Matsutani in 1987. Ken is also known for his great Captain Trip record label. I haven't heard the band's albums that much, but I must say that this new one at least is a real feast of raw and mind-expanding guitar rock. The album starts with a groovy instrumental called "Old Fish", and in the end of it the heavy soloing starts. "Fla Fla Heaven" (also released on 7" vinyl) is an energetic, punky kraut rocker and the long third track "The Drop" continues in the similar heavy style being a total blast with full power. "The Night of the Shooting Star" offers a small breather, and after a short ethnic intro we get to the long acid jam called "Rain", and apart from the little momentary cooling down close to the end, this is merciless guitar attack that at times goes even quite cacophonic. "Perfect Island" is another more peaceful track with a noise solo. The album ends with the ominous, threatening track "Just Going Around in Circles" that is more than seven minutes of drone without any rhythm. I must say that this album was a really pleasant surprise, and proves once again, that the Japanese know the noble art of making noisy guitar psychedelia." - Psychotropic Zone

"Starting right away from a Japanese garden scenery this CD by the Tokyo based psycho and improv rockers Marble Sheep shoots you right on to a highly adventurous orbit crisscrossing all the well known routes of all kinds of musical satellites and spacecrafts to reach their very own place in the stratosphere of the contemporary musical underground. Underground? Well, being told that this would be a major release of an upcoming new big thing promoted by the music industry you would probably believe it. Headbanging monster Rock for big stadium festivals at the first listen, Marble Sheep definitely do achieve a most sophisticated amalgam of mass compatability (sonically and energetically) and all the virtues of independent and alternative underground credibility (musically and in its general attidude)." - Frank Gingeleit/Aural innovations
