RIO Drop-In Centre

I listened to it twice so far and I am very impressed. I guess this is what they call "chamber rock". Complex, nervous, at times sombre music, with superb strings work. Absolutely wonderful album "Magisches theater eintritt nicht...." 1995 kept me glued to my headphones from start to finish, after which I felt the urge to put it on again. Cannot recommend it highly enough for all those fond of RIO/avant kind of music with strong classical influences, and hope that soon the band will be added to these Archives (if not yet) in RIO/avant category.   They can remind at times Cro Magnon "Bull?", but my first association was with the little known Austrian band called "Metamorphosis". Their album-compilation "Love and Napalm" is also highly 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.

Listening to some OOIOO... interesting so far!

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        

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.

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?

Oh, you should get Feather Float and Kila Kila Kila, they're excellent.

Chamberry: I've not heard that album, but the two albums I have heard are quite varied, some is spacey/psychedelic, some is typically Japanese (lyrically), some is quite tribal and I even hear some King Crimson in there.

Oh and the drumming and guitar playing is excellent too.

Not sure which album I'd rate higher.  I've heard Feather Float twice and Kila Kila Kila once, so it's hard to judge yet.

But as I said, I was pleasantly surprised, I was expecting lots of noise and stuff and that's not what I got.

Indeed Geck0, they do vary from those sounds you mentioned, but I said trippy because I found it more dominant. I was also expecting something very "out there" but I was also surprised and pleased since I like what I've heard.

As you said, Black Velvet, that isn't really what I'm looking for after listening to Gold and green. I will most definetly check out Acid Mothers Temple and I'm very anxious on buying one of their albums. Wich one would be a good place to start but still being very trippy?

Just to let Assaf know, I'm in favour of OOIOO being add on PA.

If not I would be more than happy to put the links up here again? This is the only one I've heard by them and it actualyl sounds more trippy than avant-garde. Are the others less trippy and more crazy? I really like Gold and green and it actually raised my interest in hearing Acid mothers temple. Well the other album I am more farmilar with is Taiga, which is a lot more noise/avant garde orientated. But I am not sure if this is what you are looking for? You must check out Acid Mothers Temple sometime they really are amazing. I have something like 5 albums by the band and each is as impressive as the next. I'm not sure of names at the moment. I'm at work so I cannot check right this second. They will shock you a little more than OOIOO, well that is an understatement! Very noisy and chaotic. So be prepared to be taken on the trip of a life time. On this site: http://www.archive.org/ just search for Acid Mother Temple and you will come up with a lot of live performances which you can download for free. They put on a very prolific show!! I really would love to see them live.

I believe the new OOIOO album maybe their best so far!

Adam, a quick question: of the US releases for OOIOO, which ones have the artwork?  Do you recommend the Japanese originals, or the American releases (especially those on Thrill Jockey Records)?

I am definitely thinking about purchasing the whole discography (except for the compilation), so any input on this would be appreciated.
