ELECTRIC SUN FEATURING JOHN KING-S/T, CD, 1993, JAPAN/USA

Featuring God Mountain label head and idiosyncratic ivory tickler Hoppy Kamiyama (Optical*8/Daimonji/Saboten etc...), Bass Army/Dragon Blue/Death Ambient bassist Kato Hideki, improv polymath and serial turntable abuser Otomo Yoshide and frequent Toshinori Kondo collaborator Hideo Yamaki and fronted on this occasion by visiting Downtown NY string slinging eccentric John King (known for his collabs with David Moss, which I've posted elsewhere), this was both a brilliant genre defining label statement for Hoppy's imprint (home to seminal discs by Koenjihyakkei, Bondage Fruit and Tipographica among others) and a wildly sprawling and absurd mess, often simultaneously, with cascades of technicolor wet key splatter pummeling greasy bar band funk into submission as blazing arcs of bombast and dadaist antics cut across the mix quaquaversally.
