After lending his considerable guitar prowess to various Japanese psych acts, Michio Kurihara finally released his debut solo record in 2007 on Ba Da Bing. A song cycle centered on nine different sunsets, SUNSET NOTES is not only a modern psych guitar tour de force but also a mesmerizing reflection on nature's dazzling daily showstopper. Some are brilliant and fiery, as evidenced in the blazing fretwork of "Twilight Mystery of A Russian Cowboy"; some are wistful, like the garage nugget "Do Deep Sea Fish Dream of Electric Moles"; and some are gentle and mournful like the female-voiced "Wind Waltzes" and "The Wind's Twelve Quarters." Like the title subject matter, SUNSET NOTES is epic and essential.
Personnel: Michio Kurihara (bass instrument); Ichiro Shibata (drums); Ai Aso (vocals); You Ishhara (bass instrument); Soichiro Nakamura (organ).
The Wire (p.53) - "SUNSET NOTES is a poetic ollection, with accompanying texts, lyrics and photographs capturing the poignancy of the day's end." Michio Kurihara Sunset Notes Songs Sunset Notes Review

Sunset Notes
$13.75
While two extended tracks, "Clara" and "Cue," wander down some frightening paths (occasionally calling to mind Kronos Quartet's BLACK ANGELS), and make up a considerable amount of THE DRIFT, the record also includes slightly less daunting pieces such as "Cossacks Are," which builds to propulsive rhythmic passages, and "Jesse," a brooding song seemingly rising up from some forsaken underground chamber. Far from accessible, yet mesmerizing in its bleak minimalist vision, THE DRIFT once again reinforces Walker's reputation as a fascinating and thoroughly unconventional artist.
An utterly unique accomplishment, Scott Walker's THE DRIFT is the enigmatic British-based singer-songwriter's first official album since 1995's challenging TILT. ...

Widely considered to be a masterpiece of avant-garde metal, Harvey Milk's 1997 record COURTESY AND GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN received deluxe reissue treatment in 2006 on the Relapse label. Unfolding as a minimalist death-metal dirge, the Athens, Georgia-based ensemble's inarguably bizarre ...

Sunset Notes
$12.19 
Back in the mid 1990s, when post-rock dominated the indie landscape, instrumental bands offered a sonic vision beyond what they saw to be the tired rock clichés of 4/4 time and G-C-D riffs, but very often negated the simple energy that makes rock so vital in the process. On their second full-length ALL OF A SUDDEN I MISS EVERYONE, Explosions in the Sky ...

After 7 years and almost 50 releases on nearly as many labels (Enraptured, Ochre, Rocket Racer, to name but a few), Yellow6 returns after a 2 year break with a new album, Melt Inside. While retaining the melodic, enveloping guitar soundscapes of previous releases, Melt Inside is different in one key element. On this occasion, Jon’s mesmerising, minimalist, guitar-based arrangements are enhanced by the divine vocals of Ally Todd. The album features 9 tracks, composed and recorded between Lund, Sweden and Leicestershire, ...

| | Les Mccann Swiss Movement CD (1969) (Import) Japan; Limited Edition; Mini LP Sleeve
Sunset Notes
$38.09
The rambunctious R&B punch of "Compared to What," the tune pianist Les McCann and saxophonist Eddie Harris use to open their 1969 Montreux Festival set, signals that this won't be your average jazz concert. With the song's topical lyrics about the Vietnam War and social concerns, sung by McCann in a gravelly, soulful voice, "Compared to What" rocks more than it swings. In fact, "Kathleen's Theme," with its straight 4/4 rhythm and knotty solo from Harris, and "The Generation Gap," with its modal progressions, are about the only straightforward jazz pieces here.
Elsewhere, the ensemble, which includes Benny Bailey on trumpet, Leroy Vinnegar on bass, and Donald Dean on drums, helps the two leaders keep things in a driving, soul-jazz mode. "You Got It in Your Soulness" has funky piano breaks from McCann and a laid-back solo from Harris. The head-bobbling rhythm of "Cold Duck Time" keeps things simmering, and proves McCann and Harris's skill with rhythmic tension and release. This extremely popular set (one of the best-selling jazz albums of its time) represents the soul-jazz craze nicely, providing plenty of tasty, technically advanced licks for jazz ...
