What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

I love a threeway me. Not much more fun to be had as a human being. Here's a threeway by Merzbow, Richard Pinhas and Keio Line on Dirter Promotions Actually I don't think it' is a threeway at all. I've got it all completely wrong! It's a split by Richard Pinhas and Merzbow called Keio Line Plus. Richard Pinhas is some French pioneer of electronics who's been around since year dot being all French and pioneering all over the shop. Merzbow you know about... he's a noisy Japanese sod. Together the 2 funsticks have cobbled together a triple LP which will take you through a journey of electronics and noise. It's surprisingly melodic at times. I was quite surprised if I'm honest. I was expecting this to be much harder work that it is. Though if you make it through to side 6 in one siting then you're a braver man than I ever could be.

What the label says:

An incredible collaboration that sweeps across the generations of electronic music. Richard Pinhas is internationally recognized as one of France's major experimental musicians: the "father" of French electronic music. He was the founder of Heldon, a band whose violent fusion of electronics and guitar in the '70s rivalled the German electronic school. As a guitar player he has been compared to Robert Fripp. Cited as an influence by many electronic musicians, Richard Pinhas has helped to define the Spacemusic genre. Since founding the seminal spacerock band Heldon in 1974, Pinhas has released over 15 albums, had involvement in dozens more and shaped the way we listen to music today. Masami Akita aka Merzbow is the forerunner of Japanese electronic music, and for the last 20 years plus, has been at the top of his game ploughing more and more extreme sonic territories.This release, recorded in Tokyo in October 2007, will surprise a lot of people in its sheer beauty. This is a collaboration that works in the true sense of the word, with each artist complimenting the other over six long sprawling tracks each occupying the whole of a side. It will be issued on CD by Cuneiform, but this vinyl only release has an extra LP of material not included on the CD - this is the complete recording. The set comes housed in a gloss laminated sleeve and is limited to just 1000 copies. Side 1 Tokyo Electric Guerrilla Side 2 IKEBUKURO: Tout le monde descend! Side 3 SHIBUYA AKS Side 4 MERZDON/HELDOW kills animals killers Side 5 CHAOS LINE Side 6 FUCK the POWER (and Fuck Global Players)
