Japanese music is pretty good, those guys are way ahead of us over there! But thats a huge generalisation, I'm talking about the electronica and breakbeat stuff which has been flowing out of there for a decade! I love it! But its hard to find out about artists, anyone know any I should try? Obviously not the pretty well known ones, Mad Capsule Markets, Cornelius etc, Heard them! I'm loving it
hurrah...i beat showmet to it... Melt Banana amazingly good noise rock also, check out four tet...nice ambient stuff... Nana OnSha are really good too...they did the music for this game Vib Ribbon...but it's very difficult to find any of their stuff...
Cheers for that, didn't know four tet was japanese? Japanese pop is light years ahead of ours...just got some BOA, its hyper tatu with megabeats!!
as far as i know he is... i could be wrong... also...look for the thread called yata on here...that is j-pop in all it's wonderous glory... and also...also...check out a band called deerhoof...thats some good stuff too
i'm fairly sure four tet is not japanese, he didnt speak when i saw him, but definately not a japanese face...and his name is kieran hebden... i dont really know enough about what you're looking for to be recomending you anything but nobukazu takemura has some nice work if you've not heard him...child and magic is a pretty good record
Cheers for the recommendations, tried some of the Melt Banana but it was a little bit too much like locust for my liking! But it has its own charms all the same. Now getting some Nobukazu bootlegs, looking forward! If any of you stumble across some Denki Groove, thats pretty good also!
... one of the most memorable live bands I have ever seen ... amazing... stunning .. there are no words to describe ...
