Karuna Khyal

Karuna Khyal is the name on Alomoni 1985, an obscure Japanese psychedelic LP from the 1970s whose music moves between drones, harmonica and free improvisation. Its sound has been compared to Captain Beefheart and Amon Düül, and Julian Cope later championed it. Paradigm Discs reissued it alongside the record by Brast Burn, a possibly connected act from the same label, and Phoenix Records issued a limited edition copying the original sleeve.
