Venus Peter/Delux Edition (The Best of V.P) (1991-1996/2006)

A rock band led by Shuntaro Okino (vocals) and formed in 1990, Venus Peter's best compilation album. Totally Western music-oriented sound greatly influenced by U.K. rock, especially British indie rock of the same period (in the late 1980s and early 1990s), such as psych/jangly guitar pop, Madchester and shoegaze. The lyrics are English. The first track 'Every Planets Son' was used as the opening theme for the TV program 'Fashion Tsushin'. 'Delux Edition' (released on Polystar in 2006) is a digitally-remastered reissue of 'The Best of Venus Peter' (released on Trattoria in 1996). It consists of disc-1 (15 tracks) and disc-2 (3 rare tracks). The disc-1 doesn't include 'Feels Like Fire' and 'Sunset Bell' (they were included in 'The Best of Venus Peter'), but it includes 'Doo Bee Free', 'Lemon' and 'Splendid Ocean Blue', instead. Recommended to those who like the Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream and Flipper's Guitar.
