...according to our on 30 December 2006.

The Japanese are always guaranteed to completely buck any trend in the world by taking elements of western culture (in this case something called 'music') and distorting it into some kind of startling, spazmodic mess. Melt Banana scare the shit out of me as a rule because I think what they do might actually be the norm one day. Imagine Deerhoof throwing frisbees at The Boredoms whilst taking How To Be Even More Mental lessons from The Locust & How To Be Mad But Write Tunes lessons from Whirlwind Heat or summat then you'll probably have some idea what "Cell-Scape" is like. I think this rules. A-Zap records are (ir)responsible for this.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
