Vision Creation Newsun

内容紹介

Spazmo transonic rhythm: first came the idea, then came the action and then it got hot. Like the birth of the atomic age and, what the hell, it's deeply troubled adolescence a first time BOREDOMS experience stuns with sheer brilliance. It's an event after the occurrence of which there is no going back. By turns manic and explosive, brooding and quiet, whimsical and awkward, the Boredoms rock harder, wilder, and cooler than the most chest puffing Metal Heads and cock o' the walk rappers. And even when their self invented "Bore language" hits a peak in barbarous density, naive and spastic introspection usurps all expectations. If ever there is one band that can transform shorted circuitry into a sublime maelstrom, it's this Osaka goon show. Vision Creation Newsun follows the groovitude of the much loved Super Are with additional funkiness and space time continuosity. It is Funk, it is Trance, it is drum'n'bass, and it is wayyyyyy Psychedelic. The Boredoms' pirouettes into new musical highs with each subsequent release have consistently impressed the world's rich supply of joyless humbugs, won over the clinically indifferent, and amazed the unamazeable. They've been doing it for years, the same reliable line up that has always created music for all 'noids to rejoice to vocalist YAMANTAKA EYE leading a celebratory loin cloth journey to the heart of the sun; guitarist YAMAMOTO SEIICHI surfing grooves effortlessly with the silkiest pickin' since Ry Cooder discovered Sangria; YOSHIMI P-WEE adding her graceful as the kitchen sink drumming style while keeping it with the corps; plus a new starship trooper who just pushes the beat farther into space.

On Vision Creation Newsun, Boredoms continue to pursue the phoenix-like transformation first revealed on 1998's Super Are, from rock's modern primitives to elemental prog-mired magi. But although, on first listen, their music seems to have adapted to a more user-friendly format, they've lost none of their bloody-minded awkwardness. This nine-track song cycle features symbols for titles. The 13-minute opening track is an epic paeon to new aeon sun worship that centres around a circular rock riff, a firewall of free-form tribal drums and snatches of Beach Boys-style vocal harmonies that burns out in a haze of sweeping analogue synths. It sets the tone for what is to follow. Successive tracks bleed blissfully into one another, an ebb and flow of elemental energy riding successive waves of distortion and clear blue sound. Time signatures are perverted with phase and delay. Like the movement of a tape loop around the spools, the slack is reined in to a tight merciless groove backing lunar chants and solar madrigals. So expansive it literally defies description, Vision Creation Newsun literally provides an infinitely rewarding listening experience. --Chris Campion-
