"On their 10th full length album Japan's Boredoms turn on, tune in (to each other) and drop out to an astral plane that you never even knew existed. Gone is the hyperactive, channel surfing, genre hopping of the past. In its place is communal psych jamming the likes of which have not been heard since vintage Butthole Surfers (remember that anyone?) or Amon Duul 1 or the most psychedelic sounds Funkadelic ever made all channeled through Eye and the band's encyclopedic musical knowledge. It all adds up to one disorientingly great listen that you will not soon forget. The US release is packaged with a massive 16 page booklet of Eye (damaging) artwork." |
