My favorite band is Fox Capture Plan, which is a Japanese jazz fusion band no one has heard of. My favorite album, however, is not from them but is instead Hawaii Part II by Miracle Musical (pretend I wrote that name in Japanese), with my favorite song being The Mind Electric from that album.

@ajsadauskas my fave australians:

the moles (mix of post-punk, psychedlia, krautrock, jangle, chamber pop etc; active around 90-92)
