Drawing inspiration from German electronic music, Fripp & Eno and Heldon, Dada (Kenji Konishi and Mutsuhiko Izumi) infused synth and guitar driven sounds with gagaku-inspired drones to achieve a sort of Oriental lyricism. The band subsequently released the album DADA (King '81) before splitting. Meanwhile, Konishi formed 4D, shifting his direction towards techno dance music, while Izumi joined the jazz-rock group Kennedy, and later After Dinner.

This is really amazing! For me it definately has a Fripp feel to it but even more so I would say it feels more akin to Terje Rypdal from the Odyssey lp mixed with maybe Jade Warrior's Waves Lp. Excellent spacial workings between soaring guitar, tribal drums, and Tangerine Dream like spiritual electronics. Probably the best I've ever heard in this genre.
ReplyDeleteTerrific!
