| february 2008 release ; the second duo album from the ruins’ tatsuya yoshida and guitarist tsuneo imahori (who, i just discovered by reading his wikipedia article, was the guitarist in yoko kanno’s seatbelts ; responsible amongst other things for scoring cowboy bebop ... by far my favorite anime series ...)
throwing any kind of subtlety out the window pretty much from the get-go, this continues on in that grand scheme of “shredding” - from mahavishnu up through contemporary acts such as raoul björkeheim’s scorch trio. these guys both possess, to use the parlance of my music-school years “monster chops” & hesitate not to use them at pretty much every nanosecond throughout (aside from a few moments of almost terje-rydal-esque mellow “headless” / fade-in playing...)
a couple of tracks ascend the same zeuhl-prog plateaus as yoshida’s koenjjihyakkei project (he sings) - and there’s even a bit squarepusher-esque digital drum cut-up business (listen to the sound-sample) but it’s much more about two guys locked in a studio (hoppy kamiyama’s gok sound - yes, the mix/production is insanely compressed) just going for it. a few years ago i would have immediately entered a deep, dark cave upon hearing this sort of mike/mark-varney lineage shredra - but, you know, right now this sounds pretty good ... plus i’ll always respect yoshida for being a total gentleman when i asked him to sign my ruins t-shirt back in 1997 ... |

imahori tsuneo (guitars, bass guitar, devices)
yoshida tatsuya (drums, percussion, voice, devices)
yoshida tatsuya ! imahori tsuneo ! one of their miraculous duo result is their first cd "territory" (dmf-112, 2006). this work, "dots" is even more overpowering, speed, ramified rhythm, edits, and so on. first, they recorded their improvised music in studio, then they overdubbed various sounds, edited the materials and mixed different effects into the tunes. this is the music for the prog rock, math rock, post rock fans. dense and fiery ! |
