Boredoms S/D

destroy: the early stuff never really did much for me.

plus VCN EP, Super Goooooo!, Super Roots 6 and there you have it.

For the early stuff, search Pop Tatari first.

rave review here which makes them sound like the best thing ever (they are)

see also ooioo, rovo, grind orchestra.... ???

m.

in their dreams!

after seeing vcn performed live last year my brain took about three weeks to return to 'normal'.

so really my question is: on which album do i look and find that shit?

Who was the source? I was wondering how accurate that info was myself.

I'd say Chocolate Synthesizer.

I still remember hearing "Michidai"/"Fuanteidai" for the first time and picking my jaw up off the floor.

it is I, Frances. getting onto this thread way too late I know....um, the thing I played was Vision Creation Newsun. If you heard me on Resonance last night, I was playing Super Are, off Super Ae. Yeah, get both of these albums, and MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL go see the Boredoms live.

I'm sure you have been told this many a time already. But that's because it's true. Live, they have this intense aura of of gonzo wisdom that completely blows my mind (man). And, like 'stirmonster' says, DRUMS! Drums that will make you dance like a mandrill on too much ibogane.

Anyways, was good to meet you the other night! F

But VCN, Super Ae, and Super Roots 7 are all untouchable. I'm liking the new Seiichi Yamamoto album too, but it's nothing like those others. (very quiet/pretty)

I'm not sure what you mean by "heavier" but Soul Discharge was less "heavy" in the usual rock sense (loud guitars, pounding drums, riffage) than the early Boredoms material that preceded it, on which they sounded more than a bit like a Japanese Butthole Surfers.

This may be what I'm thinking of then. Like I said, my early Boredoms knowledge is not so hot.

(I hear a lot of echoes of the Butthole Surfers here, but maybe that's because they just happen to the band closest to this sort of thing that I have listened to the most in the last ten years.)

The super punk ethics shop won't carry major label albums.
The hardcore store only carries hardcore.
The indie stores only carry YYY's, White Stripes, Sonic Youth and Flaming Lips.
Newbury Comics has gotten me the aforementioned albums + one OOIOO CD
The mall CD stores? HAHAHAHAHA

The last two albums are INSANE in their greatness. I mean, I loved the noise stuff to a degree but fuck.. vision indeed.

I think those bastards are just waiting around to release a big ole Super Roots box set. Or maybe not. Either way I need all the Super Roots. Anyone that wantsta trade, please email...

Where do I go from there tho? It seems thay're totally different every record they make, which is thoroughly commendable but not a little daunting.

The word "heavy" has come up a lot here, and the other thread talked about "groove". The earlier boredoms had their moments of these, but would subvert the expectations these set up rather than run with them, as the more recent boredoms do. I can see why the latter might make for a more "enjoyable" listening experience. But the earlier boredoms has its own pleasures, even if they aren't related to coherence. My own feeling listening to those records is that they are like a huge disorganized messy pile of brilliant half-realized things. I'd say Chocolate Synthesizer is the apex of this. And it somehow manages to be idiotic and cerebral, funny and serious, arty and artless all at once.

The "new" boredoms go to the opposite extreme--monomaniacal intensity--which somehow makes perfect sense to me. There's an extremity and obsession in ALL their "phases", which give their stylistic shifts a coherence below their surfaces.

So, yes, some of their recordings on their own are probably worth searching over others (I'll defer to above recommendations), but this is also a band that can be appreciated in its totality and (for me, at least) transcends an easy accounting by search and destroy.

I assume you're talking about "Super Going", that guitar tone & the Moonian cymbal wash -- that's one of my favorite tracks on the album. But then, I like Tommy too, so hey.

But that's part of why it's so great!

the splinter band with EY3 and Y0shimi is known as either V00redoms or 7v07 depending on the amount of drums or electronics or DJ-ing is involved. EY3 has been DJ-ing all over Japan in the last month, Yoshimi has SAIC0BABA and her okinowan/hawaiian hardcore band SUNPM0:00oo, and OoioO is currently on hiatus.

Really? But what about (for instance) their appearance at All Tomorrow's Parties L.A. last year? That wasn't "The Boredoms"?

And as for early Boredoms, the reason I'm a bit biased and ignore this material despite later albums being some of my faves is because the first Boredoms record I ever bought was Super Roots 1 about 4-5 years ago. I knew nothing about it, vaguely recalled some Boredoms hype, and bought it because it was cheap. Damn near put me off on the Boredoms forevar. Felt like I was on the receiving end of some prank they'd pulled.

Prob. a little silly to still have this bias but I'm a small man!

WOW2 has just been released in the UK, but i'd stear clear if you're not a fan of Onanie Bomb or Soul Discharge.

Does an UNKLE Rebore megamix really exist? This sounds horrid.

How are the Boredoms regarded in Japan? Are they music superstars, a national treasure? Is Eye a media hero? (Without knowing, I would guess that they must have, at the very least, the status that Sonic Youth has in the U.S. - if not even more exposure/popularity/"institutional" respect.)

I'm surprised that they couldn't get anything released that they wanted to release.

has some good stuff too

Oh I meant to ask, does anyone have any of the super lush Japanese imports like the copy of Super AE that supposedly has some multi- coloured liquid inside the sleeve?

They've all pretty much been reissued on Zorn's label now so shouldn't be that hard to find in the States.

??? hmm

Oh I meant to ask, does anyone have any of the super lush Japanese imports like the copy of Super AE that supposedly has some multi- coloured liquid inside the sleeve?

there were 10,000 of super ARE (neon green puffy vinyl with clear liquid) and 10,000 of super GO (red puffy vinyl with clear liquid). check jetset for occasional boredoms rarities.

Yeah around 1998 or so Amoeba in SF had like three copies of every Boredoms release for about $5 each. That was my intro -- I picked up the first Super Roots after reading about them in the Spin guide. Didn't care for it.

Here's an honest question for the Boredoms fans: What do you think their standing would be if they'd broken up before Super Roots 7 or Super Ae?

Also worth tracking down are the singles that preceded Super ARe and VCN. They are "Super Go!!!" and "Vision Creation Newsun". Confusingly, the latter has the same name as the album but is a forty minute ep with an edit of the first track on VCN, a pretty good remix of stuff from that album, and a phenomenal live track that they played under a solar eclipse in '99. Forced Exposure is selling it (and copies of Super Roots 5 and 8, apparently).

If you can track down "Super Go" on vinyl, the b-side (different from the 2nd track on the CD version) is also really good. Though to be fair, it's a longer mix of the song that appears as "Super Now" on the comp CD that commemorated the 2002 All Tomorrow's Parties in LA. So if you have that, you probably don't need to spend the $20 or whatever...

THIS WAS ON A MAJOR LABEL?

I don't know if I like it. People compare SOUL DISCHARGE to Lightning Bolt? This album seems pretty far off from the LASER BEASTS.

it's their first record in 3 years, they're pared down to a trio now, they changed their name to "the OoioO"... more later.

KILA KILA KILA is on nigo's label (ape sounds). he's put out the vinyl for ooioo before but this will be the first time he's putting out the CDs too.

*sigh*

If you like to party out of bounds.

"the new ooioo record is like Sun Ra meets Serge Gainsbourge A nite remember a day forgotten shooting out into space on a breath, a pregnant pause and then a skidding lift where you land no one knows... "
-Kim Gordon

"In a perfect world, Roger Dean would be banging on yoshimi's door, begging to do thier covers, their stage set, their shoes. I can't quite place why OOIOO make me think of Yes, especially as i like OOIOO a lot more. but i guess it's because OOIOO fufill what i always hoped Yes would do for me, elegantly articulate endless planes of otherness. i don't know what that means, but i hoped for it! OOIOO's new albums sounds even more assured than their previous records, and sounds more intimate, up front and cozy, right in your front room. so before they arrive, clean up, put away your laundry, and was the dishes, they need as much space as you can give them."
-Jim O'Rourke.

still no domestic release of the epic masterwork gold and green

*proven by scientific listens to superroots 6-8, vcn ep, super ae and vcn lp.

i like it a lot, it's not new tho (from 94-5 i think?)
the minga side really is just a baby making sounds, lovely sounds, with voice and a synth. the eye side also features shinro ohtake.

They don't deserve any of those bands.

I once saw Brian Gibson and some guy walking down the street before a LB show and smelled them coming towards us.

when EY3 moved (the band?) to okinawa after the boredoms broke up, there were rumors of sun-god cult worship.

wolf eyes are playing at the spitz tonight.

Seeing Wolf Eyes = seeing Sonic Youth today
Seeing Boredoms = seeing Kraftwerk today

sort of

also, i just bought the last two tickets to the lightning bolt gig on friday :-)

last night: lightning bolt might be the best live band i've ever seen. the 5 mins or so i spent down the front were easily the most intense but also most fun experience i've had at a concert - everyone jumping around like crazy, but no aggression. fantastic. anna loved them too.

black dice - better than last time i saw them. still a bit dull though. we were sat down and it all felt a bit weird.

boredoms - amazing. i kinda presume the stuff at the beginning with the microphone was just miming, but whatever, still an incredible bit of stagemanship. and it just carried on being great. more bands need 3 drummers.

so yeah, it was good. i kinda feel like i'm not praising it enough, but i don't really know how to...

Lightning Bolt at the ICA this Friday - spare ticket

what kind of microphone stuff? details please!

PS - Go look at the booklet!! I think I am right.

Have you seen the Fuji Rock clips? My roomie tried to follow what Eye and Yoshimmmy were saying in the interview lead in; all he caught were words for "cool" and "awesome" or something.

Also, who was the other vocalist circa 1993?

Other vocalist is Toyohito Yoshikawa (remember his "Ac-eed Po-lee-saaayy!"?)

''Eye performed with Zorn in a duo show right around the time of the Zorn 50th birthday shows at Tonic last year. Zorn told me he recorded something for him as well for possible release on Tzadik.
-- dleone (d_leon...), February 3rd, 2004.''

anyone know what happened to this? can't find anything on slsk.

Birthday Celebration Series
The Birthday Celebration series documents the best live shows from Zorn's historic performances in September 2003 at Tonic celebrating his 50th birthday.

Electric Masada: 50th Birthday Celebration Volume Four
The long awaited first release of Zorn's most recent and most powerful Masada unit. A true downtown supergroup, blending the raw power of Naked City with the improvisational madness of Cobra and the lyrical soul of the Masada songbook, Electric Masada is considered by many to be the most exciting band Zorn has ever had. This set, the taut climax of a three night run at Tonic, features the full octet at its wildest and most creative. Incredible solos, jaw dropping ensemble conductions and much more.

Also, I noticed some of the drum stuff has sounds like this Balinese drum cuing stuff I heard this year.

i think i might buy super ae tomorrow, and that ghost album, i dont know about ooioo though, maybe another time

Also, someone mentioned something about VoOoOoOoredoms looking to tour in the fall, anyone know anything about this?

Also, the Mukai Chie / Yamamoto Sei'ichi collab. is really cool -- kind of post-rockish. Only heard the first 20 minutes on the rainy ride to work, very fitting for riding across misty island and bays.

11. Anal Eater
12. God From Anal
13. Born To Anal

'anal eater' is the hit for sure

Super Roots 3 is the one that sounds like Bad Brains to me, a 30 minute hardcore punk song, and I would agree is the turning point in their discography from playing fragmented splice-punk into playing more groove oriented stuff. But this isn't groove, it's hardcore, and really not *that* interesting. SR 1&2 are similar to what they were doing on Choc Synth and Pop Tatari. I think SR2 was actually only ever available with the Japanese issue of Choc Synth, though I downloaded it from somewhere, so you can find it.

More track IDs to come!

from dleone's pitchfork review today:
1988's Onanie Bomb Meets the Sex Pistols ("onanie" being Japanese slang for "female masturbation")

"Onanie Bomb" is the rough English translation of Genbaku Onanies, the very first hardcore band from Japan. "Onanie" is a transliteration of the latin "onanism" which pertains to either sex last time i checked! :-D

By saying "Genbaku Onanies meets the Sex Pistols" they were trying to clue in potential listeners to what the band's influences were.

What does "kansai" mean?

Also: Nankai Hawkwind - RFI? (Eye, Nishida of Danse Macabre and Edi from Genbaku Onanies)

Apparently there was a whole series of noise bands whose names were puns on sports team + other band! and some compillation of said bands called Aiyoku Jinmin Juni Kyudan.

The liner notes go on about PRO WRESTLING pun noise bands!

Also, the notes talk about the idea of playing classic punk songs really slow. Hmmm...

Thanks for THE INFO!

NANKAI HAWKWIND
Nankai Hawkwind (Japan 7",Watanabe Records/Underground (Japan)--001--7" single) 1987

No line-up details, but a line-up I was given for their listing in the Guitar Barrio anti discography was: CHERRY--Vocals; EYE**--Vocals; EDDIE--Bass; ISONO--Drums; KITAJIMA--Guitar; MURANAOHITO--Guitar; SUGISAKU--Keyboards.

[Tracks/times?]

A Japanese art/noise supergroup. Their name was a play on the baseball team the Nankai Hawks (now known as the Daiei Hawks) and the English prog band Hawkwind. This single included some strands of the members' hair. [Print status?]

yeah, i am always mispelling japanese words (in romanji) so i am forgiving when i read liner notes or lyrics.

kansai = japanese region where osaka/kyoto are (ie, where boredoms are from).

FWIW I heard Omoide Hatoba before the Boredoms. They played their stuff on KPFA in Berkeley's Pitch a Fit almost 10 years ago. Who cares.

My roomie is going to be trolling for crappy music in Japan for me!

i got to see Mr. eY3's DJ-ing. he played many good
records. i was looking at turntables all the time. things
he played are... late 70's rare disco tracks, tricky and
sweet arranged house tunes. all tracks are danceable.
i thought his heart is really sweet.

i had a chance to talk to him once. after his DJ-ing
i saw some nameless band show. when i saw them,
i noticed eY3 was next to me. that's pretty awesome.
it's the best show i've ever seen this year. the band
called "flying rhythms" is three member. one drummer
playing drums and e-pad, one percussionist from
senegal playing djenbe, conga and some african
instruments, and one is dub mixer. their sound is
supper cosmic. you can hear a sample from their
album hear.
http://www.lastrum.co.jp/flyingrhythms/
i'm sure you like this sound. just wanted to tell you
about this band. thier 1st album was released about
a week ago. it's produced by yamabe keiji who has
a great record store named los apson? in tokyo.
i don't have yet. but i will buy next weekend.

oh maybe i might be going to see DJ eY3 next
saturday. if i could, i'll try to talk to him. he should be
friendly, i think.

WTF? wait til i pop 43 bucks? dammit.

instead i cleaned my entire apartment.

I don't have as many Boredoms albums as I should? I only have... four of them.

Can someone please ysi the track from the fish covers comp. Tanx.

I asked Dean Ween about Z-Rock Hawaii:

A- I get asked this so often that I figured it’s time to answer it. Way, way, back (like in 1993) Andrew Weiss took me to see Boredoms first in Philadelphia, and then again in Hoboken a day or two later. They were the heaviest band I had ever seen since the Butthole Surfers, but on a similar level of psychedelic transcendence with a Japanese point of reference that was unlike anything before or since. Last time I saw them a few years ago they were just as heavy and still evolving. At the time not a lot of people knew their music stateside, but the singer of the the band Yamatsuka Eye had released a solo album full of samples of “The Pod” so we knew he was a fan. After meeting at these 2 shows we arranged for him to come to our studio (we were working on “Chocolate and Cheese” in Pennington, NJ) and he stayed with me and my family for about a week. His English was minimal at best and he spent the whole time at my house roughhousing with my border collie Jimmy, which I loved. He couldn’t get enough of Jimmy, throwing the ball, chasing the stick, it was incredible to see and Jimmy loved it, being a Border Collie and all. Not being able to really communicate in the studio was an advantage, we tried anything and everything. He spent time inventing contraptions to sing through, like an Evian bottle as a megaphone taped to a snare head with the other side mic’ed up with vibrating snares, shit like that. He was an animal on the microphone. One night he and I were driving home at 3am and a deer jumped in front of my little Nissan. I totalled the car and the deer lay dead, steaming in the road. Eye was going batshit, I dunno if he’d ever seen a deer in person and I was laughing my ass off, it’s pretty typical around here to run into deer and I hated the car. Anyway, after he left he went back to Japan and the Boredoms wrote the second half of the album and mailed it over to us. We overdubbed our tracks and that was that. Eye named the band “Z-Rock Hawaii” which was the most perfect name in the world for the record. In the studio it was just me, Aaron, and Andrew Weiss and Eye. I think Claude may have played some drums on there too actually. We did some 4-tracking at my house which I’ve never been able to find for some reason.

Haha that's great!

I've always wanted some Boredoms vinyl, not even anything in particular, just whatever i can find. Just looked it up on Amazon and holy crap is it expensive.

Eye and Jimmy forever

Love it.

Also, I have an Omoide Hatoba 7" fucker.

EYE Q&A re: Z-Rock Hawaii—August, 2009

How did the Z-Rock Hawaii project come about?
I don’t remember exactly, but I loved Ween so I was really excited when they talked to me about it.

What do you remember about working with Ween? How was the music composed and recorded? Did you actually perform in the same room with them?
I was staying at Mickey’s house. I’m pretty sure it was the house they called “The Pod." Andrew was the engineer. I don’t remember exactly how we wrote the songs, but I remember it being fun.

Were you a fan of Ween before you met them? What do you enjoy about their music?
Of course I was a fan. There’s something natural about their music. Something really laid-back and spontaneous.

Since Z-Rock Hawaii was recorded around the same time as Chocolate and Cheese, do you remember hearing anything from that album before it was released? If so, what was your opinion of the material?
Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to listen to it back then.

Do you have any other impressions of Chocolate and Cheese? Was it influential to the Boredoms at all?
I’m not sure. I really love it, but I don’t know if it had an influence on the Boredoms.

Do you notice any general similarities between Ween and the Boredoms?
Maybe it’s that we’re all geeks? (I hope that doesn’t sound rude.)

kind of odd that he snubbed Jimmy

Live video, 1988. Not a typo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO3tfnh4CMA

There are a horrendous number of cuts in this video but this was the best Boredoms show I've seen (out of more than a dozen).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deTASFB-LWU

You guys are the best!

That ATP performance was incredible.

I really, really wish they'd have released an official live recording of the drumkits + vox + electronics + guitar fence lineup by now. That volume of Super Roots with the choir kind of playing the electronics role comes closest but doesn't match the exhilaration of the shows I've seen.

absolutely - I saw them in 2009 and the material was all new and really amazing, but I fear it'll never be captured on an official recording

listened to super ae for the first time today. maybe the best initial listening experience to an album i have ever had.

:)

envious!

can't remember my first listen to that one but I do remember my first time listening to it loud and that was a real "the sky is opening" moment

Enjoyed the Barbican show last week. Bloody noisy but lots of fun. Wrote about it for the Quietus. Basically 88 people playing cymbals for 2 hours http://thequietus.com/articles/18281-live-report-boredoms-live-review

There's also a piece by one of the players here, which is interesting to read http://thequietus.com/articles/18270-boredoms-live

sounds awesome. 77 Boadrum (the first event) was a truly pivotal experience for me. the ones in following years didn't quite live up but it's probably because I got the message so strongly the first time I was predisposed to disappointment when repeating the experience. Is the guy with the ballcap still part of the core drumkit circle? That guy astonishes me.

i was down in the stalls, near the front which would have been excellent in other circumstances but as such i only really got to see the backs of the cymbal players.

Eye has done this kinda interesting little collaboration with Tokyo's Gagakarise.

https://gagakirise.bandcamp.com/

yeah, thrill jockey put it out as a 7".
i have it, but only listened to it once. i should listen to it later.

Seeing them in London next week, super excited but I'm a little out of the loop with what they're doing as far as the live setup and music goes, has it changed? anybody seen them recently?

I really, really wish they'd have released an official live recording of the drumkits + vox + electronics + guitar fence lineup by now.

yes please

woah the Boredoms are still around? i thought they broke up years ago

https://www.instagram.com/p/Be-cYc7FlnE/

?!?!?!

yes! guessing a new album?

SUPER ROOTS 11 FINALLY

if their new stuff sounds like one of Eye's DJ mixes, it'll be the greatest

I already want a tattoo of that image.

I have really missed this band

FUCK
YES

Whoa

More boredoms anything of any kind would be a fuckin balm

New Third Eye Foundation and the announcement of new Boredoms on the same day? Fuck yes.

Seadrum/House of Sun-era Boredoms drummer EDA has a band called Adreena Adreena and they are playing this Thursday at Iklectik in London, they look pretty interesting, it's EDA playing solo kit and samples/toys with a huge sphere above his head onto which the other member projects images.

All changed my life. Maybe if I’d seen super go 1999 it would have broken my input port

london boadrum was amazing obv yeah but that seems on another level

Yeah it’s like a blinding chimera
Vooredoms but with Yamamoto still there

wow that's great. almost 20 years ago? i'm sure they can't be quite as wild in 2018 (?)

easy to make up for it by adding 20 more drummers

Tbh after the incredible 2007 there were somewhat diminishing returns for me in the next couple of annual eye rituals.

Boredoms - Soul Discharge (1989) i've been Eye-ing (ha!) this on vinyl for a while and scooped up a relatively cheap copy off ebay the other day. can't wait to hear it!

Boredoms records are super expensive but this one has such an awesome album cover i've wanted this for years. might have to invest in some Super Roots as well...

Amazing cover

That was my intro to boredoms in 91. I could not believe my ears. It was like if mid 80s buttholes got superevolved

lucky duck!

record came in the mail today. very noisey & freaky! i will cherish this for all time

i looked up a review and ended up on allmusic, reading a review by one Ned Raggett of ILX fame! the guy knows his stuff =)

"Yamatsuka Eye had released a solo album full of samples of “The Pod”"

What Eye album is being referenced here?

good question!

Z-Rock Hawaii was recorded in 1994 (released two years later) so it must be from then or before, maybe Chocolate Synthesizer or Super Roots?

...yet neither of those are eYe solo albums.

It's Hanatarash 4: AIDS-a-delic

The live listing says it will last for over a week (?) so you may have plenty of time to tune in haha.

looks like it was three hours and change but i think the set is still accessible or for a week if you bought a ticket

watching the eye set now, it’s cool. very digital noise but still the same old eye we all know and love.

Super Roots 9 just giving me tingles non stop

i don't like VCN, it sounds like what oasis are gonna be doing in 10 years

hilarious. i wish

The question is, was that a truly steaming take in 2003 or something it was possible to reasonably conceive of.

No. Not at all conceivable.

Listening to Schumann’s Rhenish Symphony: “ah this is what 100 gecs will sound like in 10 years”.

VCN is the greatest album ever made

checks out

yes
