ROVO-PYRAMID, CD, 2000, JAPAN
Led by former Boredoms guitarist Seiichi Yamamoto and Bondage Fruit electric violinist Yuji Katsui, the headspinningly immersive and propulsive constructs deployed over the course of this unbroken 43+ minute magnum opus by these Japanese masters (their fifth in a sizeable discography) commences by shepherding you down a rabbit hole of endlessly tumbling polyrhythmic cascades before landing the discombobulated listener in the thick of the great universal OM. From this glazed state of suspension emerges a breed of King Kong sized cosmic funk so absurdly galvanizing, even Funkadelic might be inclined to take a pointer. I feel spent from taking it all in...

Great stuff - I've been a big fan of Rovo for a while now, but I hadn't heard this before. Check out their earlier album Imago if you get a chance. If anybody wants I'll put it up somewhere and post the link.
I love this band! thank you!
awesome!
Roger, can you put up that other rovo album?
I'm really undecided about my opinions on them, I've seen them live twice and have been really disappointed, but I feel that on CD they might be better. Yamamoto(r) is still king, though.
roger, can you post the other album? I'm really undecided about them... this post is pretty nice, but I've seen them live twice and have been put to sleep...i need more cd-length material to make a final call...
