you know, that's one of his groups I've never gotten fully into. what album are you spinning?

I've been listening to the Mahavishnu Orchestra debut and I'm trying to work out if Koenjihyakkei stolen a bit or if it just sounds really similar. Since they did that Mahavishnu medley, they'd expect listeners to notice. I don't know if they'd incorporate other people's bits into their own tunes. I think it is a Mahavishnu guitar or violin part (can't remember) but Koeji have a very similar vocal part. I'm fairly sure it's on Angherr Shisspa.

I'm just listening to the first one (self-titled, I think?) - this tune is kinda their equivilent to "Praha in Spring"

still can't beat those discs w/ imahori tsuneo.
― massaman gai, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 20:27 (nine years ago) link
yeah, I love those too. curious about tsuneo's other groups tipographica and unbeltipo. haven't checked em out yet.
xpost - whoa! that korekyojin track is great! I probably haven't listened to their 1st lp in 10+ years, so guess it's time to revisit...

the last saxruins was surprisingly good, sax player has a neat way w/ zappa-fying the harmonies.embarrassing "punky" bits aside. its worth picking up if you haven't already

still haven't listened to more than a few tracks from either sax ruins records. hard to keep up with it all!

He's a beast, a genius, and quite small and unassuming - all he said the entire show was : 'Ah, sampla broken' and then proceeded to do an hour long polyrhythmic drum solo, bow, and run away

y'all ever heard the album by Daimonji called Improg? apparently the band is just Jun Togawa's backing band, and the album is four lengthy tunes which are apparently improvised, though to me they sound a lot like structured, Magma-esque jamming. some garbled vocals too. really good, makes me wonder what else I'm missing.

Yes that is put together by Hoppy Kamiyama, who used to run the great God Mountain in the 90s, and had his hand in a ton of proggy Japanese noise-rock bands. I don't remember being that into Daimonji, but it's been years since I heard it.

i rather liked that "soft mountain" record - hoppy and tatsuya with hugh hopper and elton dean doing some lovely improvs in fusion-softs style.

This almost flew under my radar, acoustic versions of Korekyojinn tracks (I don't think there's anything brand new here) but it's good:
https://korekyojinn.bandcamp.com/album/kaleidoscope
I didn't know until recently that he's put a load of Magaibutsu releases on bandcamp, it's meant that I've been able to fill some gaps in my Tatsuya Yoshida collection like I've been meaning to for ages!

Angherr Shisspa = god tier. god damn do I love this album.
what's he been up to lately? seems to still do a ton of shows and there was a new Korekojinn disc recently, but his recent output seems to be limited to these improvised (?) and hard to find discs with the likes of Richard Pinhas. is he not composing new stuff anymore?
― frogbs, Thursday, 22 February 2018 17:30 (six years ago) link
Someone with a work ethic like his is bound to be cooking up something...
Wasn't there a new Koenjihyakkei album somewhere on the horizon or did I imagine it
― obnoxious pun (ultros ultros-ghali), Thursday, 22 February 2018 18:16 (six years ago) link
vaguely recall hearing something about a new koenji too... π€
it does seem like yoshida's calmed down a bit lately. a magaibutsu bandcamp went up semi recently but just catalog releases on there for the time being. maybe he's a dad or something now?

starting to dig more into these semi-improvised collabs. the one under the name Imahoritsuneoyoshidatatsuya called "Territory" is excellent, full of all sorts of gonzo noise and suitable bizarre rhythms. never a dull moment. Erans with Satoko Fuiji (a pianist) is great as well. this guy is one of the best musicians ever, really

sounding good tho!
Oh yea!

so, DHORIMVISKHA rules imo. sounds like a refinement of, or at least, a denser version of angherr shisspa to me. production on here is similarly sedate (for this band anyway, so I mean this relatively vs. nivraym or viva koenji) and I love the stretch from "DJEBELAKI ZOMN" to "PALBETH TISSILAQ".
listened to this while driving around ireland when it came out and found it complemented that nicely - lots of winding twists, routinely being impressed by everything you're taking in, undeniably kinda claustrophobic + stressful.

right now I think it's their best album and potentially Yoshida's crowning achievement. amusingly it's the only Koenjihyakkei album that really sounds like a follow-up to the last one, even though that one was 13 years ago.

Found a cheap copy of Ruins - Mandala II in a second hand section. Is this any good? Might be signed, or maybe someone not in the band just scribbled on it.

finally grabbed that Ruins Alone record. my one word review: LMAO
― frogbs, Friday, 28 January 2022 19:51 (two years ago) link
also it has a track which doesn't sample but kinda replicates Autechre's "Arch Carrier"??? like it can't be a coincidence (its "Obthecklomtz" if you're curious...1:10 on)
― frogbs, Friday, 28 January 2022 20:40 (two years ago) link
