Also good work James on the addition of OOIOO. Please correct me if I am wrong but I thought Feather Float realsed in 2001? Unless there were numerous releases.

Also good to see Hot Fur here, I have not put much time towards listening to them but a worthy addition.

Feather Float

Releases information

Japan LP/CD: Trattoria MENU 221 - 1999 (CD)/2000 (LP)
Japan LP: Polystar MTJD-1007 - 2000
Japan CD: Polystar PSCR-5739 - 1999
US CD: Birdman BMR-031

I don't have a date for the Birdman release, does anyone know?

The original Japanese LP and CD releases in Japan for Feather Float were in 1999, until Polystar released them again in 2000.  Birdman probably released it in the US in 2001, but I need evidence.

Thanks for the kind words Adam.  If you can assist me with further information, I'd be grateful.

A couple of bits of information I am seeking, are in reference to the debut.  I believe eYe sang on "Speaker", rather than used electronics.  I also need to know what Keigo Oyamada's (aka Cornelius) role was on the album, besides being the owner of the now defunct Trattoria records (who released Feather Float).

I hope that helps.

Once more, congratulations on your new position, I know you'll be a great asset to the RIO/Avant-prog team with your thorough knowledge.

Thank you for this informartion James. I was looking at the birdman record release dates. In the US it was released on 24 April 2001, 25th here is Australia. I was unawear of the Japanese releases.

I don't think I am going to be of much help with their debt as this is the only one I don't know anything about.

Yoroshiku !

Have France's 'Xaal' had a mention on this thread yet ? I'm listening to their 2nd (and presumably last) 'Seconde Ere' cd as I type and what a mellow but kickin' slice of brie it is. Imagine a voiceless Rush cover band tackling Happy Family and Agitation Free at Miles Davis's funeral as the in-house band. Only better.

I've heard of them... I think they may have been mentioned over the past 46 (46 Shocked) pages.

They sound interesting though Yukorin.

Cool

It's nice to have found some fellow RIO/Avant-Progheads

I don't particulary agree with the reviewer but...


        http://www.aural-innovations.com/issues/issue11/hellbore.html


One of the greatest records I ever heard. Created by The Gods of some mysterious force and land (possibly France) and so forward-thinking you will convince yerself this is Tortoise meeting Erik Satie in an all smoking Starbucks chewing on the merits of post-VCN Boredoms. Released in '85. Farkin' astonishing !

Just voted in favour of Aleuchatistas (or however you spell it). Glad to see OOIOO included, just downloaded Green & Gold from emusic and I'm busy getting acquainted with it. Along with about a zillion other things ...

I was just wondering whether anyone could tell me if this band is worth my while. Sorry if some of this doesn't really make much sense but it has been translated from Japanese. Most of the information does not seem to be in my native tongue so I am having a little bit of trouble.

The band in Question here is: ZOIKHEM

The chamber lock project “ZOÏKHEM” of France. Frank [sumaizu] of 95 year drum forms. It seems like that solo project of substance. In 97 you debut with two works. With [pakatsushivu] as for incantation chamber sound sound of the Recommended Record type whose today influence of the classic is strong. If it comes with the baritone where the drum used the language in regard to creation with the leader you think in MAGMA and how one which does not hit has done, but there is also a running impression really the MAGMA wind being heavy. Until sound meta physical approach seems surely the French musician.
ZOIKHEM
 Requiem
   
Franck Smith drums, percussion and various objects
Pascal Terrien baritone (vocals)
Hélios clarinet and organ
SONY D-151 programmed piano

  It is the work which consists of the percussion improvisational tune which is lifted up to requiem and [edoga] [vuarezu] which are formed from first work “Requiem” 10 movements of 97 year announcement. As for the clarinet UNIVERS ZERO and the vocal as for the form where the drum dashes it is the sound which makes MAGAM THINK. You can call the sound which to the genealogy of the dark chamber lock is. But with respect to the character, requiem, image of music being consistent, is serious, energy of darkness is gushes intermittence. Is dark heavily in paragraph oak [sukasuka] the opening, in the point, as for the sound which, force to UNIVERS ZERO a little it is inferior. But, sharpness of stubborn intelligence and classical performance doing to be good functioning, it has made this exaggerated work consist skillfully. In addition, the adult you close the drum a little and but show colorful play, [pakatsushivu] are increasing the effect with the combination of the piano. It seems that builds up the grotesque kind of atmosphere which weird melody of this rhythm party and the clarinet and the vocal contrasts well, twists to everywhere. 30 minutes of requiem are not long under any condition. And with last movement, just the explosion like MAGMA is repeated. Percussion improvisational tune even in continuation of the play like whim is the beautiful work which makes beat feel to the silence part in spite.
  But as for individual play vividness, the strange acoustic chamber music which gives the kind of impression which denies the articulation whose all ensembles is clear. Because you probably will compare the fact that expression of the vocal is felt weakly with MAGMA. In addition there is no strong direction impression, somewhere as for being the feeling which awakens it is modernism, but is, charm of music is shaved. By the way to the liner it is written in this language. Just, someone reads, it is with to do, the [yo].

  “Requiem” (29: 53)
  “I (r) onisation” (7: 23)

(TPZK.VII)
ZOIKHEM

 Vox Clamantis In Deserto
   
Franck Smith drums, percussion and various objects
Pascal Terrien baritone (vocals)
Hélios clarinet and organ
SONY D-151 programmed piano

  It consists of the second work “Vox Clamantis In Deserto” four movements of 97 year announcement, in “the spell which is created”, 献 they are the contents which add the piano improvisational tune which is displayed in the [hurantsu] list. The nucleus of the sound, UNIVERS ZERO plus the MAGMA vocal does not change, intently it is weird dark sound. But strength in one tune became clear, character of tune became easy to understand. There is a force which is not in the previous production in the kind of ensemble where both the clarinet and the piano intense play continues, winds the eddy. Powerful beat is given out from the piano, the drum on the other hand seems that you persist in effective sound of the background. The clarinet and the piano and the vocal appearing in the front, very the scene which interwinds extremely it probably is largest climax. In addition, as for the vocal attaching the incantation intonation with Noboru sound, [pakatsushivu] sewing between vessel ease and advancing that if you think whether it keeps, the expression which is approached to Claus [berasuki] is shown e.g., you strain and begin to fold rather.
  The acoustic ensemble, there is a unique gloss in performance of insanity and shivering which run with the high tension which cannot be thought and come out the dark world. As for the third movement where everything reaches to climax highlight. In addition, also the last movement which is rich in change is splendid. Although being [manierisuteitsuku], the immaturity 瑞 々 it does and is.

  “Mouvement I” (8: 36)
  “Mouvement II” (8: 28)
  “Mouvement III” (10: 41)
  “Mouvement IV” (10: 42)
  “Epitaphe” (5: 05)

(TPZK.IX)
ZOIKHEM

With the exictment you get from this album. I think this is going to have to quite high on my to get list. Though I have to say the Tortoise is a little of putting (not a big fan of the band), but the Erik Satie gets my blood flowing. Also love the review you did, I see it has been amended from the first time I looked at it Wink

Yes, Yuk, I think there are few Boredoms fans on the forum. I seem to be get rather ecxited about them. Them and Keiji Haino were my first introductions in the Japanese scene so they have a special place for me. I think my sig in a good indication of this.

No I didn't know the was a box set of Vision Creation Newsun. Is this a Japanese release? What extra features does it possess?

Yeah I like that sig BV !

VisionCreationNewsun boxset came with a T-shirt, the regular cd and a bonus cd gatefold (different artwork), stickers, and a device set inside the box that, when you hold it near an electric light or somewhere hot makes random electronic sounds !

It's at my old apartment at the minute but if you are interested in seeing pics I can post them in the future. Not so rare in Japan. Probably a few offered on eBay (or Yahoo Auctions Japan) but expect to pay through the nose
