Zettaimu's early period, origin

In 1983, Hisashi Furue had some doubts about his own originality. Because he liked not only rock music but old Japanese roots music, melody and "Ma" (Japanese intervals between notes).
He formed Zettaimu for mixing together many styles of music, from Japanese roots music, the psychedelic sounds of the 60's and 70's, to more modern gothic styles.
In 1989, the first album My Grandma Says... (LP) was released by Garando Records.
In 1991, live recording Zettaimu Live! (cassette) was released by Garando Records.
