▓████▓▌ From Aural Innovations #11 (July 2000) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Bondage Fruit are a Japanese ensemble who have been ▓▌
▓████▓▌ described as being one of the best examples of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ zeuhl music today. On "IV", there are certainly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ zeuhl influences, but Bondage Fruit's talents lie ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in their ability to incorporate traditional music ▓▌
▓████▓▌ such as blues, jazz, and rock, into manic and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ complex avant-progressive instrumental passages ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that are well structured, but have a freeform "jam" ▓▌
▓████▓▌ feel as well. The bands consists of Kido Natsuki on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ guitar and synthesizer, Okabe Youichi on trap drum ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and percussion, Ohtsubo Hirohiko on bass, Takara ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Kumiko on vibraphone, percussion, and organ, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Katsui Yuji on violin and vocals. Apparently female ▓▌
▓████▓▌ vocals were once integral to their sound, though ▓▌
▓████▓▌ there are none on "IV". ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The opening track, "Minus One", hints at ▓▌
▓████▓▌ traditional rock rhythms, and the opening guitar ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bit reminds me of an old Edgar Winter tune I can't ▓▌
▓████▓▌ quite place. An interesting analogy given that the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ whole of the track explores early Zappa territory, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ particularly its cool scratchy "Willie The Pimp" ▓▌
▓████▓▌ violin. Percussion, vibes, violin, and guitar all ▓▌
▓████▓▌ function in a gorgeous instrumental stew in which ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the instruments work independently but ▓▌
▓████▓▌ cooperatively. Kind of a zeuhl and Crimson meet ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Zappa and Beefheart comglomeration. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Prayer" opens as a sort of avant-bluesy piece, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ though it too gets a bit into the Zappa realm, but ▓▌
▓████▓▌ also has some heavy, but all too brief, power-rock ▓▌
▓████▓▌ segments. The music builds in intensity and becomes ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a freeform and quite fiery jam that utilizes a lot ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of off-kilter but well constructed rhythms, until ▓▌
▓████▓▌ its last minute when it closes with a more standard ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rock, but Zappa-oriented feel. Bondage Fruit delve ▓▌
▓████▓▌ deeper into the blues on "Screen Game". Delta blues ▓▌
▓████▓▌ slide guitar and violin lead the fray in this ▓▌
▓████▓▌ swinging party tune. The combination of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ instrumentation helps make this Bondage Fruit's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ own, again blending traditional music with a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ free-for-all avant-progressive styling. And for ▓▌
▓████▓▌ something really different, "Old Blind Cat" ▓▌
▓████▓▌ combines Middle Eastern influences with blues. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Imagine harem girls chanting at the banks of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Mississippi. Add some mucho spacey synths and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ you've got a way cool tune that stray miles away ▓▌
▓████▓▌ from the norm. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The CD's epic track, hottest music, and my runaway ▓▌
▓████▓▌ favorite, is the 19 minute "Sono-bank". Bondage ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Fruit has performed in the past with Happy Family, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and there are strong similarities to that bands' ▓▌
▓████▓▌ manic style here (though without the punkish ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tendencies), and the zeuhl influences are more ▓▌
▓████▓▌ apparent here than on the rest of the album. The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ music opens with lots of fiery guitar and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ percussion work. You can feel the momentum building ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and can sense that an explosion is imminent. Yet ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the music holds this state for an extended period ▓▌
▓████▓▌ which kept me on the edge of my seat in a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hyper-alert condition as my brain was pounded to a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ pulp. Love that crazed wah guitar! This is a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rapid-fire hurricane of a piece that is relentless ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in it's assault. Each musician is locked in a duel ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for brain bashing intensity that still manages to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ result in a band effort. An enjoyable mixture of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ crazed instrumental prowess and majestic Magmaesque ▓▌
▓████▓▌ zeuhl segments. I was exhausted by the song's end. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Absolutely smokin'. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ In summary, fans of intense, complex progressive ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rock, often played at lightening but controlled ▓▌
▓████▓▌ speed, and with hints of zeuhl and even traditional ▓▌
▓████▓▌ musics, should check this band out. You won't be ▓▌
▓████▓▌ disappointed. ▓▌
