about

Zoffy:
Formed by Tsuyama Atsushi (Psyche Bugyo, Omoide Hatoba, ex.Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O.) and Kawabata Makoto in 1998.
Zoffy’s music hints both at the members’ deep musical knowledge via their improvised performances of troubadour music and European trad, and also at their deep love for rock via their destructivist covers of classic rock songs, that no longer sounds like anything but ZOFFY. The group believes that humor is essential in music, and their unprecedented performances stray far from the beaten track. Is this the Ultima Thule that rock music has long been aiming for?

Zoffy is well known as playing innovative comical covers of "Very Very Famous Song"s, but they also play improvised fake trad. & folk music too.
This is the Zoffy's special best compilation vol.2 except for "Very Very Famous Songs" from their rare albums.

track 1, 2, 3, 4 from 1st album "Zet"
track 5, 6, from "Atsumako - Very Best Of Zoffy"

The original 1st cassette "Zoffy: The Birth" was self-released in 1998. This is including the live recording of Tsuyama & Kawabata duo (before formed Zoffy) in 1997.

1st album "Zet" was released as a CDR in a limited edition of 100 copies as part of the Acid Mothers Temple label's "Gold Disc Series" in 1998.
Recorded at Acid Mothers Temple 17th and 29th Apr. 1998

Psych Legends AMT camped their magical mystery tour in Lima, Peru in 2017 and released this mind-bending document of acid-drenched, lysergic Space-Rock while they were there. What you get is an hour's worth of Freakouts that only this Japanese collective can provide, brimming with Far Eastern instrumentation, kosmische grooves, exploratory guitar and synth oscillations. It remains super-charged and infectious throughout. The musical equivalent of a gateway to another dimension. Logen Ninefingers
