Dhidalah - No Water (Guruguru Brain, January 27, 2017)

Another great release from Guruguru Brain. This time the offering is a 10" by Dhidalah, a psychedelic-rock trio from Tokyo made up of Ikuma Wakabe, Wahei Gotoh, and Konstantin Miyazaki. The group has a long history behind them: it was formed in 2007 when Ikuma left his previous band, Church of Misery, and the three put together this project inspired by the tradition of 1970s Jap acid rock, blending the sound with doom and space-rock elements. The 10" consists of two lengthy tracks, the first ("GRB") renewing the tradition of more acid rock sound experiences, while the second is more distinctive and unique in its use of percussion and keyboards, balancing between space rock and powerful destructive doom moments reminiscent of the mythical giant Daidarabotchi, after whom the group is named and who is said to have the strength to split mountains in two. In this regard, the intentions of this trio are perfectly evident.

Tony Conrad - Joan of Arc (Table of Elements, October 2006)

Tony Conrad passed away in April 2016 at the age of 76. I think he was one of the most interesting artists in terms of avant-garde music experimentation (deliberately inspired by masters like John Cage and Karl-Heinz Stockhausen), which led him to intersect his path (alongside composers of the caliber of La Monte Young) with artists from the rock and alternative music scene, starting with a strange crossroad with the Velvet Underground in the early sixties, to the more famous collaboration with Faust in "Outside the Dream Syndicate" (1972). Many of his works, however, were and are closely linked to artistic works of more or less experimental visual nature, but also true soundtracks. This recording here is from 1968. It is a work conceived to be the soundtrack of a film by the Italian-American experimental director Piero Heliczer, who as a child acted in "Ladri di biciclette" by Vittorio De Sica and then moved to Paris, London, New York City, where he became part of Andy Warhol's circle. The record was recorded as an improvised session and played with only a pump organ at the home of John Vaccaro, the director of the Playhouse of the Ridiculous, in 1968, but the recording was only released in 2006 on Table Of The Elements. The recording session lasted over an hour: in fact, Heliczer only used eleven minutes of it, but Conrad didnā€™t know the exact length of Heliczer's recording and continued to play until the reel tape ran out. And this is a great fortune, because in the end, this recording is a true great musical work filled with primitive drone sounds and vibrant sound waves. The mind goes, besides minimalist composers like La Monte Young or Terry Riley, in some way to "Metal Machine Music," even though this work is perfectly listenable and here the intent is to build and narrate something, not to destroy.
