Arthur Doyle, Takashi Mizutani & Sabu Toyozumi: Live in Japan 1997 (released 2003) give er ***** captain
Wow!!! This is incredible...these guys waste no time getting into it. If this was actually the first song of the concert,well, unbelievable. They start with a flurry, and get incredible sounds out of their instruments. I really like some of the tones Mizutani gets out of his electric guitar. Arthur is so intense, his stamina is incredible. Around 9 minutes into "November 8th or 9th, I Can't Remember When" [aside: great title!], they start to get spacey, but in an intense scary way...
intense melodies
scream silently
into the space of time
Takashi and Sabu are great on "Alabama and Mississippi Reunited".
heavy
ominous
vibrations
warning sirens in the distance
then right next door
flee shout the generals
hiding out
in their bunkers
while the war inside rages
Arthur comes in on the flute and he takes things to another dimension. Is this the reuniting? Is this a good thing??
"I Pass, Then Resist" starts off with a beautiful melody by AD. Beautiful song. "I'd Live in Her World, Then Without Her in Mine" sounds like it could be done by the Acid Mothers Temple (or maybe I'm on ahcid!!!). [aside: Now wouldn't that be an interesting collaboration?? Arthur Mothers Doyle's Temple]
I really like AD's flute playing. It adds a lightness to the proceedings...yet still ominous! "Love Heal" is like that. Then Arthur starts using his voice as an instrument. [aside: Mole, ya gotta hear this!] His voice is incredibly expressive. Words are not necessary for Arthur!
nothing said
nothing said
everything said!!!
"Joy" ends the proceedings on a meditative
thoughtful
conclusion.
Incredible stuff...
I also have "Songwriter" and it's also worth hearing. Arthur solo in a living room bringing his music to life...what could be better?
