It sounded like nothing else then and it still does not today. More than half a century later, Sdban Records presents a reissue of this singular cult album. The album was produced by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean Kluger\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and written both by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Vangarde\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (aka \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBangalter\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, later the father of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Bangalter\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaft Punk\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), who were already well-ahead of their time, long before electronic music rewrote the rules of pop culture. Released under the name \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eYamasuki\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, also referred to as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Yamasuki Singers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, or \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Yamasuki's\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the project was never intended as a conventional band. It was a studio-born fantasy, a concept album disguised as a pop record. What began as a standalone single quickly expanded into a full-blown pan-cultural pop opera that ignored genres and common sense with joyful abandon. Musically, the album sits at a delirious crossroads. Psychedelic pop collides with funk rhythms, samba and bubblegum melodies, full of chants and choruses in a phonetic pseudo-Japanese, written with the help of a dictionary. Kluger and Vangarde famously recruited a children's choir to perform the vocals, and for added spectacle, they brought in a Japanese judo grandmaster, whose ritualistic shouts and battle cries erupt throughout the record. Over the years, Yamasuki has been quietly sampled, covered, and featured across media far beyond the realm of novelty pop. \"Kono Samourai\" was sampled in \"The Healer\" by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eErykah Badu\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (2007), produced by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMadlib\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, while \"Yama Yama\" has found its way into recent pop culture as well: appearing in the television series \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eFargo\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAngus Stone\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's project \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDope Lemon\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and on the 2008 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eLate Night Tales\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e compilation curated by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eArctic Monkeys\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e drummer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatt Helders\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
