Despite the constant flood of top quality music that's emanated
from Japan over the last decade or so, there still seems to be a
need for compilations to showcase the music.
This is largely because, while our awareness of Japanese wacky
ideas on technology, clothing and endurance tests is pretty high,
our knowledge of their music tends to be a little murkier.
Fortunately Bambola have come to the rescue with a compilation to
shed some light on what our Japanese counterparts are up to in
their, no-doubt, super high-tech studios.
Compiled by XFM's Nick Luscombe, and created as the finale to the
yearlong cultural festival "Japan 2001", "Kinda Tek" showcases a
groundbreaking and inspiring collection of 12 tracks from the
Japanese underground.
Mainly electronica with heavy jazz influences it gathers momentum
with nineties sounds similar to 808 State's 'Pacific State' in
Organ Language's 'Kagura', or from more current Propellerhead's
breaks in Intelligent Jazz's 'Clear' and abstract traditional
Japanese influences with Takayuki Shiraishi's 'Depth'.
Current golden boy Susumu Yokota makes a welcome appearance too,
with an excellent bass driven mix of Sonic Balloon's 'La Dolce
Vita'.
It's an album guaranteed to quench the thirst of anyone hungry for
an insight into the current Japanese music scene and will hopefully
have new converts scouring the shelves for more.
