Making an Impact: Murasaki’s Sophomore Album (BMC-3006)
Let’s explore the second studio album from Okinawan hard rock pioneers, Murasaki, titled “Impact.” Released in 1977 on Bourbon Records with the catalog number BMC-3006, this 12-inch vinyl LP captures the band following up on their groundbreaking debut. This particular copy includes the original extra-large obi strip.
Recorded in late 1976, “Impact” continues to showcase Murasaki’s signature sound, often drawing strong comparisons to Deep Purple with its powerful blend of heavy guitar riffs and prominent, virtuosic keyboard work. Tracks like “Doomsday,” “Fly Me Away (From Here),” and the epic “Mother Nature’s Plight” deliver high-quality 70s hard rock.
Interestingly, this album is also noted for incorporating Okinawan musical elements, adding a unique flavor to their established style. The release was generously packaged, coming with a triple gatefold insert (featuring lyrics and photos) and an additional 12×12 insert with a band drawing and printed signatures.
BMC-3006 stands as another essential document of early Japanese hard rock, capturing the power, evolution, and unique regional influences of the legendary Okinawan band.
