Feather Float and Kila Kila Kila, are still on that infamous still to be listend to list. Though I am thinking of buying Feather Float quite soon. It is at my local store so I will want to buy it before someone else snaps it up. But I think some Acid Mother Temple might come first.
Yes OOIOO were very different from what I was expecting as well. Having brought it from the connections to Boredoms I was hoping for some wonderful noise. But was pleasantly surprised but something quite different. Also you definately will have to get some Boredoms sometime. Currently I have exhausted my store Boredoms stock, so I am hoping they are going to get a few more obsure items in by them. For a start I would not suggestion beginning with some of their earlier albums, like Pop Tatari or Chocolate Synthesizer. You might be a little turned off by the vast array of strange noise, not to mention the vocals, which I think are superbe So try either Super ae or Vision Creation Newsun. There even is their lastest offering, which at times has hints of Popol Vuh! (at least in the later track) Haha I don't think I would be the best person to ask about pronounciation. But personally I would split the word up a little like this Add - en - dum. What are your thoughts? |

And what are your thought on Feather Float and Kila Kila Kila? They're the two I've heard and I was presently surprised!
I was expecting lots of noise and what I got was far from that! Very good stuff and not unlistenable at all. Those two albums look rather interesting! I will officially order the two I have at some point (I really am trying to replace my downloads with originals) and also see if I can get the other 3 (that includes OOIOO - the 1998 debut). I remember the artwork, yes, very interesting! I may have to get some Boredoms as well. Addendum: How is the name of this band pronounced? I've been curious for a while now!

The two other albums I have are Gold & Green and Taiga (their new release), which from knowledge is out in some places. But Australia is unforunately not one of them
Gold and Green is probably my favourite so far, but this could be the fact it is the one I have listened to the most. It is quite relax and some very tripped out acid/psychedelic rock. Back a lot of pages I posted some pictures I took of the artwork. I don't know if your were graced with seeing these? If not I would be more than happy to put the links up here again? Taiga, there lastest offering is quite noisy so to speak. This one reminds me more of the earlier Boredoms work, thought this is a quite lose comparison. I have only listen to this a few times so it is hard for me to give a clear opinion. |

Oh you do? Cool. What are they like? I presume you mean the first two albums, or do you mean one of those two and the new release? I'd be interesting in hearing them

While not possessing the same clear complexcity as the Boredoms (to be added soon, hopefully ). It is one of those bands you have to listen to quite thoroughly to see their different kind of complexcity presented thorough out most of their albums, which for most cases seems to be underlying. Please keep in mind I am going to be a little bias in this regards, being a big fan of both OOIOO and Boredoms.
I think I would say yes. If not full blown prog I would like to see them added to prog-related as the roots are definately there. By the way James, I have another two albums by them |

I'd like to ask a question:
Do you think OOIOO should be added to the archives? I personally think they shoud... I know Assaf hasn't decided yet, but what do the rest of you guys think? I thoroughly enjoyed the two albums of theirs I heard. Great stuff! |

Ok, I'll make sure to get an album by DAAU while searching for Die Anarchistische Abendunterhaltung. Thanks for the heads up. Maybe in the future I'll ask for recommendations on Chamber music, but not tonight. I'm very tired.

If so, then you should definitely check DAAU.
I have We Need New Animals and their first s/t.
Both recommended.

Hey, this sounds very interesting. I really like those bands that are concidered Chamber music. Bands that use classical instrumentation are definetly a plus for me. I should check them out and since you sound very pleased with what you've heard then is a plus for me. |

I haven't seen them live, and since you were, I'll believe your words about seeing them live.
When was it? What did the play?
BTW, an update on the emailing issuse from previous pages:
I got a response from Bernard at Musea Records regarding the missing Wapassou albums and I will upload the missing data when he sends it to me.
But I have yet to receive a response from Taal.

QUOTE=RoyalJelly]
I looked at it out of curiosity as to what some people find fascinating about this album. I'm glad you get so much out of it, because for me it's a long, monotonous listen. The starting with a gong and that minute of silence cut kind of typify the pretentiousness...like, "Our music is so HEAVY, you need a minute to recover and get ready for the rest". But that heavy, doomsday drone they maintain throughout doesn't seem supported by much in the way of new ideas or musical content. I'd write a review, but that would mean listening to it again. Not to be negative, it's a good effort from some young musicians, but there's so much more interesting music out there, especially in the new RIO category. Like the one and only Zaar album that came out recently, very much the same direction, but also much more polished and engaging. [/QUOTE]
Have you heard Black Oni? Guapo themselves consider it a big improvement on 5 Suns, although having heard 5 Suns played live shortly after it was released it remains my favourite Guapo album so far.
Zaar's album is good, but I think it's a bit patchy. Sefir, the 20 minute opener, is excellent, as are most of the shorter tracks, but Omk (the other long piece) seems rather rambling and confused to me - much like parts of the first Sotos album.

I read and I was impressed, although slightly disgruntled that you analysed the album more intelligently and in greater depth than I managed. I'm glad you liked it so much - although you really need to experiece Guapo live to get the full impact of their music.

I have some grave news this afternoon. Back a few days ago I was talking about my hopeful purchase of DAAU - We Need New Animals. After sampling (then deleting it), I was quite impress as was really looking forward to owning my own copy. Looks like another misfortune with my local store. They once again no longer have the CD, it was damaged recently in a flood they had at the store This made me very sad
Fourside, this would definately be an interesting poll between Sotos and Zaar |

Daau, Flying Luttenbachers Great suggestions.
On a more traveled note (in this thread at least) Sotos's Platypus and Zaar's Self-titled are getting better and better every listen. Platypus vs. Zaar is a very poll-worthy debate. |

Yes, Assaf The Flying Luttenbachers are very good. I mention the in this thread a while ago and also was talking about them in the Zeuhl thread. They would definately be a good addition to the site. I have there 2002 album Infection and Decline. This is particularly good with the highlight being their cover of Magma's De Futura. It is nice to see people are catching on the this band

Two DAAU websites:
Official: http://www.daau.com/
Unofficial: http://www.yurk.net/daau/news.htm
5 albums are listed and one of them was released this year - Domestic Wildlife.
On another note, I am now listening to The Flying Luttenbachers - The Void.
I have asked Joren to add them to the RIO teams list of to vote on bands.
It is quite a noisy album, intricate and very dynamic and unrelenting music.
I think that those of you into the bands mentioned in this thread already form the Japanese school of Avant-Noise () will like it (as do I).
I think they should be added.

^^^Thanks for the info, Assaf!
So they have another three albums apart from Magisches theater...
That's great news - need them all, I guess.
Looking forward to their inclusion into PA.

I think this band needs to be here, without a doubt.
I will wait till my fellow RIO team mate vote on this matter and if they will vote yes like I did, I will add them asap.
I have bought today, their We Need New Animnals which is very good as weill. Chamber Rock too.
In this album you have the following lineup:
Han Stubbe - clarinet
Buni Lenski - Violin
Simon Lenski - cello
Roel Van Kamp - accordion
Guests:
An Pierle - Vocals
Angelique Willkie - Vocals
David Bovee - Guitar
Michael Brook - Guitar, Bass
Jason Lewis - Drums
Phil Evans - Prog(ramming)
I thought this album would be a dissapointment after their other album of theirs I have - the first one which Eugene mentioned, which is a brilliant semi-classic semi jazz and some electronics in it album.
This one as well, shows this bands ability to create beautiful and somewhat complex tunes with their simple but varied resources. The programming mingles well with the other instruemnts, when it is used. But what I like most is when they play their plain acoustic music with just the chamber instruments - the result is in my opinion a must for this genres' fans.
It sometimes reminds me of classic music and at other times it reminds me of French chanson with the accordion.
I also have their albums Life Transmission and Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain. I still need to absorb those, but now I have great expectations.
