yep so have I and saw them perform countless times... They also did a record
with Guapo...
GUAPO : "Great Sage, Equal of Heaven" (PAN 041)
Matt Thompson : Bass, electronics, guitar
Dave Smith : Drums, percussions
Guapo were formed in 1994, and have released 3 albums & 5 EPs to date. They
have toured europe many times, playing with bands such as Ruins, Oxbow, Zu or
Spaceheads. Their latest release was "Death Seed" on italian label Free Land,
a CD of hyper-energic improvised collaborations with japanese legend Ruins
and london-based improv duo Shock Exchange.
"Great Sage, Equal of Heaven" was recorded at the band's new london-based 24
track studio, with guest appearances from Caroline Kraabel on sax and John
Edwards on double-bass. Incorporating elements of avant-rock, electronics,
folk & noise, the musical structures are intricate and harminically complex
while still retaining a hypnotic rhythmic sensibility.
East european-derived melodies and Moog experimentation are also absorbed
into the sound, creating a rich and densely textured music with few
antecedents.
GUAPO : hirohito (PAN 027)
Second full-length album from Guapo : "Hirohito" is an entertaining melange
of noise, improv., electronics, prog., opera and sample viruses, utilising
sax, CD player, metal, etc...
The plunderphonic approach to songwriting recontextualises sample sources
such as Japanese folksongs, sound effects records and the Chinese national
anthem, creating absurdist
Noise Operettas out of aural detritus.
The cut-and-paste collage aesthetics of John Cage / Negativland / John Zorn
rubbing up against the base stupidity of Black Sabbath.
