Having recently discovered Japanese electronic musicians such as Nobukazu Takemura, Susumu Yokota, and Ken Ishii, I was wondering if anyone could recommend any other good Japanese electronica, experimental or otherwise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
great thread, i totaly love japanese electronica i hope someone comes up with some names hehe someone mentioned Takagi Masakatsu some days ago, i checked his music and it is really nice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
Merzbow. Very emotional and melodic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Check Aoki Takamasa, and all his label mates from Progressive Form. |
||||||||

Seiichi Yamamoto: Crown of Fuzzy Groove Really rich soundscapes. You could cut the sound with a knife... |
||||||||
|

merzbow sounds interesting... whats his best release? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Spank Happy. they're japanese or Date Course Pentagon Royal Garden. its kinda future jazzy, experimental stuff. Spank happy is kinda... electroish, houseish.... its very japanese |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
check out satanstornade, kinda mainstream-pussy-music though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ive listened satanstornade on warpsite and i dont really like it... not "melodic and emotional"... any other suggestion? or all his music is kind of this album? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you're after melodic stuff forget merzbow |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Denki Groove Takaaki Itoh Satoshi Tomii Fumiya Tanaka Takkyu Ishino Not very experimental tho.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then, darius griffin has deceived me? im not looking for melodic music, only with a little emotio'nal charge... if its good i will apreciate ikt. then: best merzbow release? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think you'd better start with Aqua Necromancer, for example... There are rythms and melodies sometimes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not that it is his best, but one of his most accessable, I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok thank you darius :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You are wel co m e . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not experimental, but damn good --> "inspiration from e2-e4" by various artists is sweet music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yellow magic orchestra |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree on the nobukazu takemura, cornelius is good too, although a lot less experimental than a lot of stuff out there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you didnt like satanstornade, i highly doubt youll like any merzbow release. |

Toshimaru Nakemura Polysics Hantarash Sachiko M. Ikue Mori I.S.O. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
name some ISO, Polysics, and Ikue Mori tracks i should check out please |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As for Ikue, no tracks specifically but I'm fond of One Hundred Aspects of the Moon and Hex Kitchen The self titled ISO is amazing As for Polysics, they are somewhat of a hyperpop group that is just offensively poppy yet enjoyable. Anything off Hey Bob My Friend is great for drugged up party porno kill music. |

asa chang and junray r pretty cool. i love susmu yokota though hes amazing. Also DJ Krush's new album (shinsou the message) is quite electronica ish |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lot of names already have been suggested, so: acid mothers temple (not electronic but they are epic!) melt banana (not electronic but they are epic!) gerogerigegege (i prefer them to merzbow!) masonna (i prefer him to merzbow!) cibomatto (not electronic but they are epic! and cute!) shonen knife (not electronic but they are cure!) fantastic plastic machine (not electronic but they are...i don't know) ryoji ikeda (he is electronic! if you like a tone played and modulated for 20 minutes or more) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i forgot: Ruins (not electronic but tzomborghaaaaaaaaaaa!) |
||||||||
|
|

rei harakami radiq aka yoshihiro hanno aka multiphonic ensemble is great definatelly the best japanese musician I know is BISK! unfortunately no new releases in the last five years.. check it out! cyber-pseudo-jazz-breakbeats excellent stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

"The self titled ISO is amazing" > which one? they've got two self-titled records... one being recorded "live" in a temple (i have this one, it's great) on Sound Tectonics label, and another one on Alcohol label with four tracks. |

furoi has great tastes and ill double all those recomends!!! especially boredoms or melt banana live!!!!!! i dont like to dis stuff but have to say that all progressive form stuff is really generic paint by numbers max user boring shit. . . . i could go into more detail. towa tei is good for house heads Y.M.O are true classix if you dig ymo then check out their solo stuff too... the best is SFX by Haroumi Hosono (who also did soundtrak work for Miyazaki Hayou) current japanese electronics of interest should inclued: -miroque -hot troche -sawako -360 records -dj shabu shabu and the soon die crew -cha bashira records -L?K?O -anal cunt and tetsu inoue is a true genius IMHO . . . ."genius" bad wors...sorry... |
