     *Ripper's note: Here's the Japanese version of the new Maher
     Shalal Hash Baz album, released by 7 e.p. Records. It's a
     double CD, with a second disc of the whole album recorded live
     at Shinjuku JAM, Tokyo on 7-4-2006. The domestic, single disc
     version is released by K records. See scans for more details.


     Composing his music to be played by amateur musicians, Tori
     Kudo, the enigmatic conductor of Maher Shalal Hash Baz, has
     been called "The Master of Mistake". On "L'Autre Cap" he is a
     wickedly inspired bandleader, presenting a tight package of 27
     songs both fierce and fragile.

     Barely held together by the threads these songs seem just a
     note away from falling apart completely. The effect is at
     turns serene, dissonant, enchanting, rockin', and intensively
     catchy- kind of a Langley School kids Avant-Idiot Savant
     Orchestra with a Syd Barrett meets Charles Ives conductor,
     fusing the most captivating elements of twisted jazz,
     psychedelic rock rebellion, and dreamy pop chamber music to
     form a most intimate and cohesive vision of the future of
     music on Planet Earth.

     Maher Shalal Hash Baz were the guests of honor at the 12th
     Annual Olympia Festival of Experimental Musics. They made the
     million-mile trip over from Japan to spend some days
     rehearsing, playing, living and recording in the legendary
     "Big Room" that formerly housed the mystery that is Dub
     Narcotic Studio. Man-on-board the control room was Arrington
     de Dionyso, so it should be no surprise that Old Time Relijun,
     Melanie Valera (Tender Forever), Warren Lee, and Derek Johnson
     (Le Ton Mite) make guest appearances among the cast. The
     sounds are crisp and spacious, the delicate result of three
     microphones and two days (!) that capture forever the
     determined spontaneity defining Tori's sophisticated work with
     the band.

     For longtime fans who have tracked the band over their many
     years and mutations, obviously "L'Autre Cap" is an essential
     follow up to "Faux Depart" which was also recorded at Dub
     Narcotic (released on Yik Yak! in 2004). It's also an
     excellent starting point for those unfamiliar with the long
     history and naive genius of Tori Kudo's Maher Shalal Hash Baz.
