Anyone had a chance to pile through the new batch of Tzadiks? I'm especially interested in the new disc by Seiichi Yamamoto. At first I was very skeptical, but after several listens I grew more and more into his previous one "Crown of Fuzzy Groove" and this one seems to continue this direction. YAMAMOTO SEIICHI - Nu Frequency (Tzadik 7243) Since the late '80's, Yamamoto has played brilliant and brutal noise/prog/psych lead guitar for the sensational and crazed Boredoms, as well as his own twisted band - Omoide Hatoba and more recently with the great trance/psych/rock unit - Rovo! 'Nu Frequency' is his rare new solo/duo effort with Yamamoto on guitar, bass synth and percussion and Ms. China on drums/percussion on three tracks. This is a fine blend of ambient, space-rock, free-floating, instrumental bliss. Dreamy drones and hypnotic noodling bathe our minds in a wash of groovy ghosts. Ancient synth squiggles, eerie blips, laid back Dead-like space music and even some soothing funky jazz flows like liquid herbal smoke and makes us feel free, relaxed and floating on clouds of joy. This what us old hippies used to refer to as head music, so light up that joint and dream wayS CD release for $14. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
