Mooning (ムーニング)

Mooning (ムーニング) represents a pivotal evolution in legendary Japanese rock outfit Gedo's discography. Recorded as a trio following the departure of original bassist Aoki and integration of Rodney Drammer, this comeback release marks a deliberate shift from their 1970s blues-rock foundations toward more sophisticated progressive and hard rock territories. Though commercially overlooked upon release, the album has garnered significant retrospective appreciation among Japanese rock collectors and underground music aficionados, cementing its status as a cult artifact that demonstrates Gedo's artistic adaptability while preserving their characteristic defiant ethos.
