There is something religious or mesmerizing about Geinoh Yamashirogumi's music for the intense collaborative process they go through to create it. Yeah, I also have had trouble finding information (and even albums) by this band/collective. I found another blog post on the music at this blog called Metropolis, but it is in french. Maybe you'll just have to learn Japanese to get to the bottom of this one. It's weird that their stuff doesn't have a large enough audience to promote it internationally. Of the Ecophony albums, I'm a bigger fan of Ecophony Rinne, but they're both excellent works. I really like when they implement the random synth stuff or the electronic drums! As I said before, most of all I really love how they incorporate the religious or folk musical elements of Japanese traditions, stuff usually found in Shinto shrine festivals, Bunraku and Noh or Kabuki theater. I'm a sucker for that stuff too, but anyone who can successfully merge it with other stuff gets bonus points. If you want to trade info or music, feel free to e-mail me at sc8031 [at] yahoo [dot] com. Hey Ian,

And I know exactly what you mean when it's impossible to explain, and it is a truly an enriching experience. I have about 8 of their other alums, including the Akira Soundtrack. If you think that was good, these other albums are breath-taking...literally. The Ecophony albums, the Live album, Live - "Hirakareta Gassho" - Junen no Tenkai, and others. Unfortunately, it dawned on me that, it is almost impossible to get in-depth, solid information on this group, and it's director/composer, Shoji Yamashiro, or Tsutomu Oohashi, as wikipedia claims. If you have any idea of how I can get some more information, maybe we can make some trades, for some of their other music....if you don't have any already that is. PLEEEASE let me know if you can...
