Boredoms S/D

destroy: the early stuff never really did much for me.

plus VCN EP, Super Goooooo!, Super Roots 6 and there you have it.

For the early stuff, search Pop Tatari first.

rave review here which makes them sound like the best thing ever (they are)

see also ooioo, rovo, grind orchestra.... ???

m.

in their dreams!

after seeing vcn performed live last year my brain took about three weeks to return to 'normal'.

so really my question is: on which album do i look and find that shit?

Who was the source? I was wondering how accurate that info was myself.

I'd say Chocolate Synthesizer.

I still remember hearing "Michidai"/"Fuanteidai" for the first time and picking my jaw up off the floor.

it is I, Frances. getting onto this thread way too late I know....um, the thing I played was Vision Creation Newsun. If you heard me on Resonance last night, I was playing Super Are, off Super Ae. Yeah, get both of these albums, and MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL go see the Boredoms live.

I'm sure you have been told this many a time already. But that's because it's true. Live, they have this intense aura of of gonzo wisdom that completely blows my mind (man). And, like 'stirmonster' says, DRUMS! Drums that will make you dance like a mandrill on too much ibogane.

Anyways, was good to meet you the other night! F

But VCN, Super Ae, and Super Roots 7 are all untouchable. I'm liking the new Seiichi Yamamoto album too, but it's nothing like those others. (very quiet/pretty)

I'm not sure what you mean by "heavier" but Soul Discharge was less "heavy" in the usual rock sense (loud guitars, pounding drums, riffage) than the early Boredoms material that preceded it, on which they sounded more than a bit like a Japanese Butthole Surfers.

This may be what I'm thinking of then. Like I said, my early Boredoms knowledge is not so hot.

(I hear a lot of echoes of the Butthole Surfers here, but maybe that's because they just happen to the band closest to this sort of thing that I have listened to the most in the last ten years.)

The super punk ethics shop won't carry major label albums.
The hardcore store only carries hardcore.
The indie stores only carry YYY's, White Stripes, Sonic Youth and Flaming Lips.
Newbury Comics has gotten me the aforementioned albums + one OOIOO CD
The mall CD stores? HAHAHAHAHA

The last two albums are INSANE in their greatness. I mean, I loved the noise stuff to a degree but fuck.. vision indeed.

I think those bastards are just waiting around to release a big ole Super Roots box set. Or maybe not. Either way I need all the Super Roots. Anyone that wantsta trade, please email...

Where do I go from there tho? It seems thay're totally different every record they make, which is thoroughly commendable but not a little daunting.

The word "heavy" has come up a lot here, and the other thread talked about "groove". The earlier boredoms had their moments of these, but would subvert the expectations these set up rather than run with them, as the more recent boredoms do. I can see why the latter might make for a more "enjoyable" listening experience. But the earlier boredoms has its own pleasures, even if they aren't related to coherence. My own feeling listening to those records is that they are like a huge disorganized messy pile of brilliant half-realized things. I'd say Chocolate Synthesizer is the apex of this. And it somehow manages to be idiotic and cerebral, funny and serious, arty and artless all at once.

The "new" boredoms go to the opposite extreme--monomaniacal intensity--which somehow makes perfect sense to me. There's an extremity and obsession in ALL their "phases", which give their stylistic shifts a coherence below their surfaces.

So, yes, some of their recordings on their own are probably worth searching over others (I'll defer to above recommendations), but this is also a band that can be appreciated in its totality and (for me, at least) transcends an easy accounting by search and destroy.

I assume you're talking about "Super Going", that guitar tone & the Moonian cymbal wash -- that's one of my favorite tracks on the album. But then, I like Tommy too, so hey.

But that's part of why it's so great!

I already want a tattoo of that image.

I have really missed this band

That image was printed on the Super Ae cd:

FUCK
YES

Whoa

More boredoms anything of any kind would be a fuckin balm

New Third Eye Foundation and the announcement of new Boredoms on the same day? Fuck yes.

Seadrum/House of Sun-era Boredoms drummer EDA has a band called Adreena Adreena and they are playing this Thursday at Iklectik in London, they look pretty interesting, it's EDA playing solo kit and samples/toys with a huge sphere above his head onto which the other member projects images.

Does anyone know if there are any bootlegs of the legendary Fuji-Rock show that was supposedly so good that it drove Yamamoto to quit?

This one?

Jesus fucking xt that’s good

Does audio exist of the whole set?

I love how totally square Yamamoto always looked. I guess here it was too wa for him to wear chinos and a polo shirt

dear god imagine witnessing that

oh my god

I already had more transformative live bore experiences than I deserve

1992 seattle just after PT
Vooredoms the first time I saw that lineup
77 boadrum

All changed my life. Maybe if I’d seen super go 1999 it would have broken my input port

london boadrum was amazing obv yeah but that seems on another level

Yeah it’s like a blinding chimera
Vooredoms but with Yamamoto still there

wow that's great. almost 20 years ago? i'm sure they can't be quite as wild in 2018 (?)

easy to make up for it by adding 20 more drummers

Tbh after the incredible 2007 there were somewhat diminishing returns for me in the next couple of annual eye rituals.

Boredoms - Soul Discharge (1989) i've been Eye-ing (ha!) this on vinyl for a while and scooped up a relatively cheap copy off ebay the other day. can't wait to hear it!

https://www.discogs.com/Boredoms-Soul-Discharge/release/1810824

Boredoms records are super expensive but this one has such an awesome album cover i've wanted this for years. might have to invest in some Super Roots as well...

Amazing cover

That was my intro to boredoms in 91. I could not believe my ears. It was like if mid 80s buttholes got superevolved

lucky duck!

record came in the mail today. very noisey & freaky! i will cherish this for all time

i looked up a review and ended up on allmusic, reading a review by one Ned Raggett of ILX fame! the guy knows his stuff =)

"Yamatsuka Eye had released a solo album full of samples of “The Pod”"

What Eye album is being referenced here?

good question!

Z-Rock Hawaii was recorded in 1994 (released two years later) so it must be from then or before, maybe Chocolate Synthesizer or Super Roots?

...yet neither of those are eYe solo albums.

It's Hanatarash 4: AIDS-a-delic

The live listing says it will last for over a week (?) so you may have plenty of time to tune in haha.

looks like it was three hours and change but i think the set is still accessible or for a week if you bought a ticket

watching the eye set now, it’s cool. very digital noise but still the same old eye we all know and love.

Super Roots 9 just giving me tingles non stop

i don't like VCN, it sounds like what oasis are gonna be doing in 10 years

hilarious. i wish

The question is, was that a truly steaming take in 2003 or something it was possible to reasonably conceive of.

No. Not at all conceivable.

Listening to Schumann’s Rhenish Symphony: “ah this is what 100 gecs will sound like in 10 years”.

VCN is the greatest album ever made

checks out

yes

Thirded

Looks like Eye will be conducting an orchestra of 200 cymbal players: http://arv100.tokyo/
