Boredoms
Boredoms () (later known as V∞redoms) is a rock band from Osaka, Japan formed in 1986. The band's sound is often referred to as noise rock, or sometimes Japanoise (Japan’s noise music scene), though their more recent records have moved toward repetitive psychedelic rock, ambient soundscapes, and tribal drumming. The band has a vast and sometimes confusing discography. Many band members have rotated through the group over the years, often using a number of various stage names. Singer Yamantaka Eye is the closest the band has to a frontman; his style includes a range of baffling screams, babbling, electronic effects, and very heavy post-production. Drummer/keyboard player/vocalist Yoshimi P-We is featured on most Boredoms recordings. History Formation and early years Boredoms were formed in early 1986 by Yamantaka Eye, who at the time acted as front man for the infamous and highly controversial noise/performance art act Hanatarash, locally notorious for its extremely danger ...

Remix Albums
A remix album is an album consisting of remixes or rerecorded versions of an artist's earlier released material. The first act who employed the format was American singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson ('' Aerial Pandemonium Ballet'', 1971). As of 2007, the best-selling remix album of all time is Michael Jackson's '' Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix'' (1997). History and concept '' Aerial Pandemonium Ballet'' (1971) by Harry Nilsson is credited as the first remix album. It was released after the successes of "Everybody's Talkin'" and ''The Point!'', when he decided that his older material had started to sound dated. Neu!'s ''Neu! 2'' (1973) has also been described as "in effect the first remix album", as many tracks see the duo "speed up, slow down, cut, doctor, and mutilate the material, sometimes beyond recognition". In the 1980s, record companies would combine several kinds of electronic dance music, such as dance-pop, house, techno, trance, drum and bass, dubstep, ...

Super Roots 2
''Super Roots 2'' is the second installment of the ''Super Roots'' EP series by Japanese experimental band Boredoms. Released as a 3" CD, it was mailed to people in Japan who completed and sent a survey card enclosed with the Japanese release of '' Chocolate Synthesizer''. Because of its short duration, it was the only ''Super Roots'' not to be rereleased by Vice Records in 2007. Reception Deborah Sprague of ''Trouser Press ''Trouser Press'' was a rock and roll magazine started in New York in 1974 as a mimeographed fanzine by editor/publisher Ira Robbins, fellow fan of the Who Dave Schulps and Karen Rose under the name "Trans-Oceanic Trouser Press" (a reference ...'' stated that the album "will keep you on the edge of your seat, if only for the numerous long silences that cleave songs like 'Magic Milk' and 'White Plastic See-Through Finger'."

''Super Roots'' is the first installment of the ''Super Roots'' EP series by Japanese experimental band Boredoms, released in 1993 by WEA Japan, in 1994 by Reprise/Warner Bros. Records in the United States, and rereleased in 2007 by Very Friendly Records in the United Kingdom and Vice/Atlantic Records in the United States. Reception In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek described the music as "joyous insanity," and stated that the tracks "are fun; they're wild; they're virtually unlike anything else out there." ''Pitchforks Dominique Leone wrote: "much of the record takes on a tribal ambience with pitter-patter percussion and the feeling that all of this is happening amongst island natives cooped up in a studio on their one foray into the city." Deborah Sprague of ''Trouser Press'' called the album "the most overtly playful" release of the ''Super Roots'' series, and noted that "skittery schoolyard giggles like 'Ear? Wig? Web?' and 'Budokan Tape Try (500 Tapes High)'" set "a g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Vision Creation Newsun
''Vision Creation Newsun'' is an album by Japanese rock band Boredoms released by WEA Japan. The standard one-disc edition was released in Japan December 10, 1999, and in the United States the following year by Birdman Records. Music and composition Described as a space rock and krautrock album, ''Vision Creation Newsun'' marks the band moving away from their noise-influenced sound. According to AllMusic's Mark Richardson, the album sees Boredoms "settling into a loose, jam-oriented aesthetic." Richardson further added: "The first two tracks find Boredoms further investigating pounding tribal rock with propulsive drumming, energetic guitar work, and vocal chants. The overall feel bears some similarity to '' Super æ'', with tracks that draw from Krautrock and psychedelia, but ''Vision Creation Newsun'' adds a folk element, including softer instrumental textures like hand percussion, lengthy cymbal washes, and acoustic guitars. Some passages even flirt with new age, as they wea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Super æ
''Super æ'' (sometimes written as ''Super Ae'' or ''Super Are'') is the fifth studio album by Boredoms, released in 1998. It was named the 44th greatest album of the 1990s by ''Pitchfork''. Title The correct pronunciation of the album's title is often debated, although according to ''The New Yorker''s pop-music critic Sasha Frere-Jones, group frontman Yamantaka Eye has stated that the correct articulation of the "æ" symbol is simply "ah" or "ugh". Critical reception Ned Raggett of AllMusic gave the album 3 stars out of 5, saying: "Taking some more of the prog/Kraut influences that crept into earlier efforts while still firing up the amps all around, Eye and his cohorts (forming a core quintet this time around) once again become the most out-there band in the world." Writing for ''The New Rolling Stone Album Guide'', Douglas Wolk gave the album 4 stars out of 5. He called it "a pounding, astounding psychedelic masterwork, the raw power of Boredoms' early records harnessed and d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chocolate Synthesizer
''Chocolate Synthesizer'' is the fourth studio album by Boredoms. It was originally released via WEA Japan and Reprise Records in 1994. It was recorded in four days and mixed in a week. In 2013, it was re-released on vinyl by the California-based label 1972. Early Japanese editions of the album were packaged with a coupon offering a free mail-order only 3-inch CD, titled ''Super Roots 2'', only available to Japanese addresses. Reception Jon Wiederhorn of ''Rolling Stone'' gave the album 3 stars out of 5, saying, "Without question, the Boredoms are one of the most bizarre, adventurous bands on the planet, but for anyone who doesn't thrill to disjointed beats and cacophonous clatter, ''Chocolate Synthesizer'' may be a tough sweet to swallow." Meanwhile, Keith Kawaii of ''Tiny Mix Tapes'' gave the album 4.5 out of 5, saying, "The noise rock thing has been done before, of course, but rarely has it stretched this far in every direction, and rarely has it been so successful."

Osorezan No Stooges Kyo
''Osorezan no Stooges Kyo'' is an album by Boredoms, released in 1988 on Selfish Records. The title translates to "The Stooges' Craze in Mount Osore, Osorezan". Critical reception ''Trouser Press'' wrote that "structure-free sonic whirlwinds like 'Call Me God' and 'Feedbackfuck' are simultaneously far funnier than any quirk-rock smirk-fest you'd care to name and far scarier than any death-metal posing in recent memory."
