This mid 90's outing from musical polymath/drag queen/God Mountain Records proprietor Kamiyama is an uneasy and confounding melange of propulsive percussion workouts, clots of viscous digital backwash, post Fourth world-isms, spare wreaths of bowed metal atmospherics, mid-80's sounding Downtown NY mutant funk, shimmering marimbas and the compressed caterwauling vitriol of Ground Zero; little surprise on that last point, seeing as how ex-Ground Zero saxophonist Junji Hirose appears at length here, cutting great swaths of squall (and the occasional bit of snakecharming) through these mercurial constructs.

Many thanks for this, you wouldn't think you could forget a character like Hoppy but I had! Has a (lazy comparison coming up) Voredoms sort of drum thing going on, very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the good music, sorry I'm one of those feckless types that rarely leave a comment.
