MICROKINGDOM

"UUAA" gets some uplift. The middle complicated phrases remind us of the similarity to a Japanese rollercoaster rock legend Djamra but 'shirt-sleeve' musical freedom and variance in every single track should be their top priority, let me say. On the contrary, the third "UUUAAA" possesses freakier, lazier aroma all around. Quite surprised at their strong intention never bound by the stereotype called "progressive". The last moody encouragement sounds like they claim great unwavering confidence in their soundscape.

Suddenly the stereotype is broken up again in the beginning of "UUUUAAAA", that gives a shot of melodic, rhythmic complication. The blend of instruments is completely out of harmony. Such a dissonance is our love. It's pretty enjoyable to hear the song goes forward in dry, hazy, fuzzy, funny chaos. Another charm can be found the song involves punksy hints via improvisational saxophone playings and synthesizer-oriented tips. In the last track "UUUUUAAAAA" we are likely to get deceived by acceptable beautiful melody symmetries in the beginning of this song. But the neat smart beats in the middle part are very delicious. The latter quiet relaxing flavour produced by saxophones, percussion, synthesizers or guitars gives us another explosive expectation.

Wonderful. Hope to give it a listen eternally.

"Iceboat" possesses weird but attractive inorganic chemistry full of bubbling tenderness and dissonant fragility. As if we were broken from the inside under such a serious situation, the sound dissection goes forward slowly and steadily. We can enjoy a chilling atmosphere like the title "Iceboat" that should be fragile and melty. On the other hand "Clowny Skies" featuring brilliant glassy phenomena reminds us of a sort of similar vein to hoax electronika just like Mittelwinternacht '71. Wondering what 'Clowny' means, and guessing we see the kaleidoscopic variable skies like on a stormy day. They would have launched a kind of tough appearance under the current state. And in the following "Party Boat" we can get veiled in a mysterious ecstasy produced by mystic sound collective. Cannot imagine via their previous opus "Three Compositions Of No Jazz". Crazy hightone synthesizer sounds like female voices are crazy impressive really. The last "Stiff Peaks" is a return-back of hoax sound. Their sound discharge is stiff and excessive, to give us the maturity of the chaotic, confusing world. Too hard for us to digest out obviously, but their energetic expression is fascinating, it's true.

All in all, this creation is not bad, but I'm wondering where they will end up and what the fans think. There would be pros and cons around them. I love this album though.

The first shot "Peppermint Crab" is, contrary to following one, electro-drenched quirky free / avantgarde jazz one to stir my brain. In the middole of this album "Gamut Runner", freely ambient sound / noise jack-in-the-box reminds me of Horde Catalytique Pour La Fin, free jazz unit. Another ambience river flow "The Myth Of The Rainy Night" is comfortable like smoothie.The last noisy, freaky weirdness "Surgery Ghosts" sounds just like what the title says.

This debut album is pretty promising for avantgarde-progressive rock scene, even if their soundscape should be flooded with electronic procedure like Jean Guérin. A stuff that let us feel of various possibility.

From the first track 'Hot Echoes' we can be drenched in their quirky percussive electronika, featuring dissonant electric guitar noises and freaky jazzy saxophone sounds. Quite ambient but impressive for electronic fans (a tad tough for authentic jazz fans though). Also 'Moon Driver' has such a flowery flavour like the previous one, that notifies the audience of their pleasure really. On the contrary, 'Public Bass House' is flooded with perfect ambient therapy and ghostly terrorvision. 'Space Jog' or 'Disgusting Sunset' digs non-jazzy electroambient madness out, which cannot remind us of their debut, but who cares?

As a result, I suppose they would have molted into their adult ... err ... basic soundstyle. This is my favourite too!
