"Sorede Sozosuru Neji"  Nisennenmondai  Release date: 2004  Label: nisennen/dotlinecircle

There's no tracklisting on this mini-album; the five tracks blend together into a twenty-six minute, multi-movement noise symphony. Starting out with a clatter of drums, raining fiery death from all sides, it moves into a tighter, more menacing, bass-driven segment, punctuated by increasingly frantic bursts of screeching guitar feedback and drunken bumblebee soloing. Part three is a short burst of stop-start Boredoms noise, before the spectre of Neu! makes its appearance felt in the drumming. The bass just hammers away endlessly on one note, while the thin, metallic guitar takes the track by the scruff of the neck, spluttering in and out according to a rhythm of its own. The final, and best, part takes the best elements of the rest of the album; the frenetic drumming, the brooding bass, the explosive guitar; and takes the whole track as close to spacerock as three Japanese girls recording in a shoebox can be reasonably expected to go. -Ian Martin, Sep.14.04.
