Zongamin - Zongamin FLAC download

Dès l'intro, cet artiste japonais s'autorise une sorte de surf rock électronique mâtiné d'Ennio Morricone.La suite de ce recueil d'instrumentaux électroniques entend surprendre, épater, décontenancer et donnerune leçon d'eclectisme à l'auditeur. Dans la vague néo-punk 80's, Zongamin est sans doute le plus iconoclaste.

On the contrary to the previous comment, I find the de-evolution of the raw disco tracks into experimental but rhythmic noise collages are central to what draws me into these tracks--- he always brings you back to the groove after a trip through jagged spaces. Add to this the power of non-dancefloor material which is zany, psychedelic and unafraid, and I think you've got a throughly enjoyable discopunk album, a rare enough thing in a singles-oriented genre. And by the way, I've got the XL recordings jointly released 2X12", and there's plenty of stereo separation; the production sounds totally fresh and loud. Maybe the Flesh CD's aren't as well mastered?

Lots of variety & novelty. Unfortunately, not as much replay value as you'd expect for something so different from the norm. The disco-oriented, vintage-sounding tracks get my attention at first, but further in they "derail" into improvisatory racket. So-so in terms of production - almost everything is mono. A not-entirely-serious album with a bit too much emphasis on gimmickry, but still worth listening to once or twice.
