On the latest Ruins album, the integrated music of irregular rhythm and melody, through minimal orchestration, sounds like a conversation between a horde of people of different nationalities, genders, and ages, exposing the borderless universality of sound, emotion, and meaning. Also released on Mike Patton’s IPECAC in USA, the Japanese edition is released on MAGAIBUTSU.

Vrresto
(MAGAIBUTSU, MGC-14, CD 1998)
progressive / punk
Price: € 14.00Add to shopping cart


Their compositions are extreme: too violent and wild to be progressive, too technical and sophisticated to be hard-core and too lyrical and melodic to be free-jazz. However, all these tendencies are spectacularly put together, punctuated and reinforced by their distinctive vocals and language, trapped somewhere between the operatic and the psychotic.

BACKORDER

The complicity between the two musicians is displayed here in its fullness of sound. Sasaki Hisashi handles his Midi bass with an amazing dexterity and phrases Tatsuya Yoshida's lyrical singing with his gruff voice. Yoshida, whose drums by now surely have become extensions of his physical body, shows once more his dedication to complex rock patterns and stone pictures.
