Just to mention again my enthusiasm with Le Silo and their release 8.8.
Take all that is good from RIO/Avant bands of passed times and squeeze it tightly and you get this dynamic performance.

Also this is probably a good place to ask. Does anybody know anything about the band EPIDEMIC CAUSE? All I know is they are a Japanese trio focusing in the realms of avant-garde.   

 

never too late.....

 

 

Adam, did you finally get some info on Epidemic Cause?

 

 

    

Sorry about the slow reply. But I don't know much about Epidemic Cause still. There are actually 2 CD's in my store, but I always seem to buy something else instead. Though I was having a look through some of the ablum details and it seems both of those albums for produced by an Australia record company. I will have to ask to have a listen sometime soon.

Adam, I just wanted to thank you in front of the forum for baing the main cause of my increasing and porfound interest in the Japanese music scene on all its varieties (be it noise, "usual" prog, zeuhl and the rest of the lot). This scene is becoming my number one priority in unravelling and discovering new and old obscure bands/musicians. I now put extra emphasis on learning more and buying more music from these two countries. The two other persons I wish to thank are Honganji and Yukorin.

The problem with the Japanese scene is obviously the language barrier which makes it difficult to find much info in English, which is available but not as much as it is in Japanese. I also looked at a list by Honganji and I saw there names written in Japanese and this constitutes a problem in looking for those bands, since I don;t know their names... LOL

I feel like a complete newbie when it comes to Japanese prog, but the more I play it, the more I'm convinced that Kenso's FABULIS MIRABILIBUS is the best prog album to come out of ANY country in the last ten years! (Just read my review if you want to find out more.)

Also, if you're a prog-only maniac you may not be interested to hear this, but I have been deeply impressed by KARUKI ZAAMEN KURI NO HANA (2003) by Shiina Ringo, one of Japan's top female rockers. It's a neo-psychedelic album, somewhat similar in style and mood(s) to Kevin Ayers' CONFESSIONS OF DR DREAM, Todd Rundgren's A WIZARD A TRUE STAR, and that mini-opera by Kate Bush about a drowning girl (although the vocals are totally different from Bush's). Fairly spooky, but still fun, if you see what I mean. So if you can get hold of it, don't hesitate!

椎名林檎 (Shiina Ringo)　Shocked
Auuu ! Japanese proggers seldom talk about her, because she is one of the top popular singers. I didn't know she made such a psychedelic feeling album. ShockedShockedShockedShockedShocked
 
 
加爾基精液栗ノ花 (KARUKI ZAAMEN KURI NO HANA). However this is CCCD. I wish to buy but also I don't buy CCCDs. How stupid Toshiba EMI is to release it on CCCD ! Angry
