The last proper Boredoms release was "Vision Creation Newsun," with Eye, three drummers/percussionists, Hira on bass and Seichii Yamamoto on guitar; it was more Neu-via-MDMA whoosh than the spazz action of the earlier work, but listening through their whole discography reveals a gradual trend in this direction. They've since toured as the Vooredoms (maybe a few more 'Os' in there), which is Eye and 4 or 5 drummers doing sort of a psychedelic Koto thing - the only recorded evidence is on the All Tomorrow's Parties 1.1 compilation. Since the Boredoms have good name recognition, concert billing is still under that name. Anyway, I saw them three times when they played San Francisco and LA last year & with the exception of one rather tedious piece they were great. I think they were better with the more rockist lineup, but I'd happily go see whatever they're calling themselves this week. I guess WEA Japan won't let them put out tons of stuff they've recorded, nor will WEA license the material to overseas labels. I'll never understand why labels prefer 100% of nothing to a share of what they think is chump change. Chris Selvig
