By the way, DJAMRA will break into Namba Bears, Osaka in March 5, 2011.
I'm sure they're gonna play a fantastic gig, with much Osakan humour ... will report their tremendous (I imagine) stage here. |

... And finally I've joined DJAMRA's specially terrific gig in Namba Bears on March 5th, 2011!
Already posted my report about this gig, please check it out. http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=76474 Anyway, Before DJAMRA, two outfits - SARRY and MEMENTO MORI TRAVELLER'S BAND - have stood on stage. SARRY, a twin (a female singer and a guitar wolf) unit played an eccentric drone & noisy psychedelic ambient airwave, with a tinge blended with Merzbow and Acid Mothers Temple. MEMENTO MORI TRAVELLER'S BAND were a four-piece folk rock project, with extremely fine and delightful melody and activity, a splendid gig indeed ... not progressive though. Lots of interesting and impressive artists are in Osaka, exactly. Edited by DamoXt7942 - March 07 2011 at 03:38 |

Hello, sorry for my hibernation but I've been a bit pressed with flu epidemic around me, prescription of anti-flu medicine like Tamiflu, Inavir ... I have lots of aged persons who need medicine.
And today please let me recommend this Japanese Electronic bizarre that can surely kick flu epidemic away. The back sleeve of Delicior Ribbon Pink Beel (anyway, this model of the picture is NOT Ziggy ATEM). SATAN ALFA BEEL ATEM was a short-lived (and maybe one-man) project schemed by an obscure satanic artist Ziggy ATEM. Under the project's name, he released one and only album "Delicior Ribbon Pink Beel" in 1997 (and another VHS videoclip "C.I.A Dryice System" as his solo work in the same year). Although a few times he appeared in TV media later, God only knows which inferno he currently concealed himself into. Delicior Ribbon Pink Beel (1997) - SATAN ALFA BEEL ATEM Ziggy's unpredictable words in cosmic language he'd received from outer space, and his personal inferno where everything should get warped ... I can find abstraction-ism, that I cannot clarify as a simple phrase in this album. Basically a Japanese satanic artist Ziggy ATEM is a cosmic soldier who can communicate with aliens in "another" world, and we should consider his project SATAN ALFA BEEL ATEM and his creation as a strategy for getting cosmic information via radio wave under spacey condition and as archives of his psychological conversation, respectively. His non-understandable and meaningless words, chatters, shouts can be found purely in "Out Voice" and " Topping Voice", with enjoying (being frightened at?) such an inexpressible infernal mud. Another surprising fact for us is, around Ziggy is his strong maginetic field where everything must get twisted and distorted, no matter how beautiful phrases there are. Even in the third track "Atem E", in that almost all should be pure electric noises, we can realize some faint gracious sounds and phrases ... with broken in pieces completely. Suggest "Clock A Dark Blue" may be much appropriate to be called as an "infernal daredevil", along with much harmful sound material and his crazy words (sorry for my keeping silence about it but his words and phrases are slightly nasty and completely nonsense). Here let me say, however, his electric noises are obviously different from ones created by another Japanese noise band like Merzbow or Hanatarash, which might have bumped their attitude (including frustration) into their works as keen, knife-edged irritating noises. Ziggy ATEM, I feel, might throw the sound messages from outer space into his creation under schizophrenic mind-altered situation ... so that not aggressive nor violent, but very very tough to understand. His strong intention to smack and smash every refined stuff into distortion under the remarkable magnetic space can be too magnificent for us to understand him and his creation as a serious, respectable work, proper for evaluation. As honestly I say, the first time I've listened to this album, I got much annoyed and frustrated (and made a decision never to listen again). But believe me, very mysteriously, with listening to his production over and over, something novel can hook my feeling, as though I could grab something understandable via this stuff. Very amazing indeed. Never recommended as a melodic Electronic, but hope every fan cannot avoid it. Thank you for reading this blog. ٩(̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾)۶ Edited by DamoXt7942 - April 06 2011 at 18:24 |

I'm so glad your okay Damo.We were down in Florida on holidys when the earthquake and tsunami hit your country. One of my first thoughts was of wondering and hoping that you were okay, and hopefully not anywhere near the where the worst damage hit.Please take care of yourself and i know Japan will eventually be back on it's feet.I also know things won't really be the same after experiencing such a tragedy.

Another inferno.
C.I.A. Dryice System (1997) - SATAN ALFA BEEL ATEM (Ziggy Alfa Beel Atem) Lowly qualified 30 minutes … what can we gain via this video clip? This “C.I.A. Dryice System” is credited as a solo work by Ziggy ATEM (namely SATAN ALFA BEEL ATEM), that is separated into two parts - in the former part, maybe in a studio near the seashore, Ziggy sings and performs satanically and schizophrenically, with some musicians and effectors as usual. Images in the clip seem very fuzzy and chaotic (obviously with his intention), his voices are very cheap and tiny, and his infernal worship is dreadful … without much solemn, infernal aggression just like his album “Delicior Ribbon Pink Beel”. The latter might be his live on a stage somewhere, with a fishy dancer and some players around him. Like an inorganic dog, he barks and shouts something meaningless on stage. Without humanity, without human activity, without any body temperature, he keeps singing, speaking in his spacey language. Amateurish atmosphere and poverty of humanity both are the most regretful matters all around his activities. Wish the images could be better, the sounds could be clearer, or his activity could be more motivating indeed … sadly we cannot gain any of positive feedback. Let me recommend you never to watch this cheesy video but to listen to loud noises via a machinery factory. Thank you for reading this blog. ٩(̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾)۶ |

Apologies if any of these artists have been mentioned already, but I've recently been getting more into the Japanese experimental scene and have been pretty excited by these acts: Zazen Boys The Boredoms Ruins (and Tatsuya Yoshida's Ruins-alone) Melt Banana Vampillia Mono Boris Keen to hear more suggestions - going through this thread thoroughly to pick up some more tips should help!

--- Message from author of blog ---
Dear all,
Recently I'm much suffered with the bad internet circumstance around me (now I cannot login even Facebook easily, nor PA Forum, Progfreak ... of course, can never download any evaluation samples).
So sorry that my current situation should annoy every Team member and Admin, and as a result, I'll step down from every evaluation Team for a while. Furthermore, my state of mind and physical condition are not very good so far ... and simultaneously pressed with my real work. Maybe I need some time for cooling down my brain. Now cannot mention when I'll come back here, but time should change someday.
Bye, and thanks.

I hope it's only temporary and you can recover quickly. Good luck and best wishes. Let us know if there's anything we can do.
