Believe me, whatever you pay for 8.8 it's excellent value. One of the strongest releases from Japan in the last couple of years, which is saying something, and even Chris Cutler approves.

Which was it in the Matrix that you need to take in order to not see how far the rabbit hole goes to?

I will also buy 8.8 soon. Chris really made me rethink it. And I also listened to it again and it is even better now.... What power do words have.

Nice one, Assaf. 

I need to relisten to 8.8, as I cannot remember exactly what sound they have.  I also need an opinion...

Do you think they deliberately named themselves with a French name, in honour of French bands that may have influenced them?

It would be cool to know why they named themselves that way.  Of course, all their track titles are French too.  It does make me wonder if they're influenced by Univers Zero and other French prog bands?

It does seem mighty mighty strange for them to do so.

Also, if you can find further information on Le Sillo, to aid me in writing a bio, I'd appreciate it.

I've started a bio, but it's not quite finished yet, but here it so far:

Le Silo, from Japan, are a 3-piece band, that play a widely influenced blend of demanding instrumental prog rock, which mostly takes the form of RIO and avant-jazz, with punk-rock stylistics, which is not only captivating, but well played.  By no means is their sound entirely original, but the musicianship is of a high quality and they do indeed have some very excellent and surprising moments too.  Originally starting life as Miyako (presumably named after Miyako Kanazawa), a punk orientated band; they eventually changed their style and their name to Le Silo, (some of their tracks have French titles too), presumably in honour of the French and Belgian bands that most likely influenced them.  The members of the band – Yoshiharu Izutsu (guitar and voice); Michiaki Suganuma (drums and voice) and Miyako Kanizawa (piano) – released their debut album 8.8 in 2004 on the Tutinoko label in Japan, which was produced by Ruins drummer Yoshida Tatsuya.



It needs work, this is just the first draft.

No idea...

The Silo?

A silo is to do with grain and stuff isn't it?

Or is silo not the same as silo in English?  Help us Assaf!

Oh! more Le Silo talk. Is 8.8 the only released they have? If so, is there any news on them making another one?
