Playlist “Psyche van het folk” Radio Centraal, Antwerpen (2005-07-27) : A few new chamber music related releases with Special on new Japan’s new releases related with Yoshida Tatsuya. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- part 1 : new Yoshida Tasuya related releases : -listed all at http://progressive.homestead.com/JAPANreviews.html- : * Magaibitsu Korekyojinn : Arabesque (JAP,2004)***° Tr.3, “Rambling” 2 min Tr.5, “Counterpoint” 5 min Tr.13, (untitled) 4 min Tr.16, (untitled) 5 min 16 Trio with rather improvisational or fastly played composed, structural ideas. Hard-RIO. First chosen track is mostly avant-acoustic guitar with handpercussion. Inventive. Second chosen track is a well thought over complex composition. Members are from Ruins, Altered States and Bondage Fruits. * Tzadik Korekyojinn : Isotope (JAP,2005)****° Tr.1, “Hash” 5 min Tr.2, “Arabesque” 6 min Tr.3, “Betwixt” 6 min Tr.7, “Doldrum” 6 min Tr.10,“Counterpoint” 5 min Tr.11,“Poet and Peasant” 7 min 35-51 Instrumental trio project of Yoshida Tatsuya (drums), Nasuno Mitsuru (bass) & Kido Natsuku (guitar). With ‘Hard’ and ‘somewhat hard’ or ‘fast’ compositions mostly, but not the whole way through. First half of tracks mostly have very good contradicting/then contributing and then varying rhythmic-melodic, with mathematical variations on complex rhythmical variations. Many tracks have something of a kind of ‘Ramones live’ thing of a quick playing of compositions. It was difficult to choose tracks from this album. First track has an almost psychedelic interacting effect. Third track has an almost mathematical-funky structure. “Doldrum” has a variety on a similar idea. In some way most tracks seems like a variation and evolution on the previous one. Last chosen track is the most “progressive rock” track, with electric guitar improvisation and broody bass. All in all this is progressive music for the future. * Magaibutsu Koenjihyakkei : Angherr Shisspa (JAP,2005)****° Tr.1, “Tziidall Raszhisst” 8 min Tr.2, “Rattims Friezz” 8 min Tr.3, “Grahbem Joprgazz” 5 min Tr.6, “Mbingvahre” 5 min 26-77 Perhaps best conception of the group so far. The album starts in a wonderful “operatic”-progressive Zeuhl (or Magmaesque) style, but thoroughly adds also some elements of jazzfusion (sax) to it. (I had to add the third track for the drumming and reeds). On “Mibingvahre” I recognise even African elements (mbira, singing) an avant-jazzfusion with Zeuhl mix style. Again a brilliant release. * Creage Hoppy Kamiyama :  A meaningful meaningnessless (CD + DVD) (JAP,2005)****° Tr.2, “(Looper doper)” 9 min Tr.9, “Ol’laday Grubb” 4 min Tr.11,“(To make a hit)” 5 min Tr.13,“A meaningful Meaningless” 4 min Tr.14,“(A bolt from the blue)” 3 min 25-102 Strange an interesting release varying from Zappaesque arrangements over to wherever it takes with seconds of DJrap, prog, house-electro, avant-garde, jazzrock, Zeuhl and bossanova, electronic music interpretation, etc., all in a “progressive” and sometimes contemporary way, with the most filmic collage track at 8. Last track is with a classical orchestra and operatic voice. It was very difficult to leave out any tracks. (I still have to watch the DVD). * God Mountain Daimonji : Into a blind alley (JAP,2005)**°’ Tr.2, “Lunaria” 14 min -116 Second album with a kind of improvised jazzrock-progressive. Trio with Hoppy Kamiyama (keyboards, vocals), Tatsuya Yoshida (drums, vocals), Mitsuru Nasuno (bass). * Magaibitsu Uchihashi Kazuhisha, Yoshida Tatsuya : improvisations (JAP,2004)*°° CD1, Tr.6, (improvisation) 6 min 109 Improvisations of this duo guitar/drums. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 2 : new Chamber music related items : * Cuneiform Rec. Miriodor : Parade (2CD) (CAN,2005)***° CD1, Tr.1, “Pyramide” 4 min CD2, Tr.6, “L’Invitable” 6 min -119 Very good double CD of RIO. This track has some sax here. Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/prog3.html#anchor_58 * Fuller Street Kareem Roustom & El-Zafeer Ensemble : Almitra’s Question (US,2004)**** Tr.1, “Sandstorm” 6 min -125 Beautiful and perfectly blending jazz fusion with an Arab influence. Also adapted are one Coltrane and one Messiaan interpretation. Very good !! More will be airplayed in a later radioshow. Review at http://progressive.homestead.com/MiddleEast2.html * Discord Aggr. A.Molotkov : Can you stay forever ? (1984-2004)***° Tr.2, «Waiting» 1 min Tr.5, «Gone» 3 min Tr.6, «Bleeding» 2 min Tr.7, «The Dead» 1 min Tr.8, “Unwritten” 1 min Tr.9, “Forever” 1 min Tr.11,“Waiting” 1 min Tr.20,“Waiting” 1 min Tr.22,“Never” 2 min Tr.24,“Concious” 2 min Tr.25, “Forever” 1 min Tr.28, “Questions” 4 min Tr.32, “Invited” 2 min Tr.33, “Follow” 1 min Tr.34, “Forever” 3 min 25 -150 Beautiful, nice and interesting literature-theatre contemporary musical piece, done in a relaxed, new & experimental-classical way, with some minimal wordy and musical repetitions. Some philosophical questions are taken as thoughts-overs in music.
