Toyoneu

9.1

/Noise, Ambient, Dark ambient, Experimental electronica, Kosmische Musik, Experimentalism, Crossover, Electro-acoustic/

Comment: This is a 4-track accomplishment in an immense way released by a young artist from Japan. Three fourth of the notches are profound appearances of majestic (dark) ambient washed with dense vertiginous hiss noises and metallic electro-acoustic shadows. In some places, however, can not be defined properly for is it either an instance of the noise-based outfit or a bit harsher and malicious instance of ambient-influenced one, either neoclassicist hovering or even slightly new age-ish appearance? Inbetween those stylistic elements you can detect for pitched sonic effects/and phase changes/and modulated layers. However, the (really huge) exception comes from within the third track which sounds like a tribute to mid-70`s German krautrock/Kosmische Musik bands like Ash Ra and Tangerine Dream.

Toyoneu

9.2

/Punk rock, Hardcore, Noise rock, Crustcore, Art-rock, Psychobilly, Experimental punk/

Comment: This miscellany of 7 tracks plays up a screwing course of essentially frenzied punk rock (coming from Japan, of course). In fact, it can be considered as punk on the macroscopic level, on the other side it forges the elements of psychobilly, noise, crustcore, hardcore and some minutiae of experimental electronica (by mixing it up with the punk-ish main line, however it resembles of the aesthetics of such legends as the Screamers, for instance). A manifesto of pure energy/close to the best punk rock appearances.
