Comment: Japanese Gum is a duo (Paolo Tortora, Davide Cedolin) from Genova, Italy who had issued Lost In Weirdness (2009, Chew-Z), a remarkable remix album of their songs covered by Arbdesastr, Die Stadt Der Romantisch Punks, Eniac, Grausamerg Eisenberg, and such IDM eminence as Isan. On the current issue are up 3 songs which are heavily rhythm-soaked, hiss-drenched, and electronics-fringed in the middle of guitar and vocal relied dreams. However, there are up even gypsy motifs-samples to diorientate the listener. I shall have to confess that by listening to it in the first time I did not like it but after a while it is very ok with it at the moment.
