GOD SAYS I CAN'T DANCE

What a pleasant and rewarding surprise - and quite improbable since I often feel difficulty in enjoying Japanese acts (I wont mention names here) that generally tend to lean more on the experimental/extreme side of prog.

But this album caught me right from the first (challenging) track and didn't loose my interest until the last notes, after almost one hour of great, great pleasure.

So, what do we have here - a Zappa oriental clone ? That would be insulting and undeserved to composer/guitarist Tsuneo Imahori because he easily surpasses that assumed influence creating an original and all around very coherent "oeuvre d'art". The album is also very well crafted, the artistic competence of all the musicians is above average and the recording/technical details are flawless.

Easily 4 stars - I'll probably come back and reconsider the fifth, for now will leave my enthusiasm rest a little - and also try to get to listen to the other albums (this one being the sole available in bandcamp, where I bought it from Mellow Rec.)
