\nDOWNLOAD:<\/strong> MAS turn (grass roots version)<\/a>
\nmas<\/strong> are a japanese five piece led by multi-instrumentalist, tatsuya yamada. formed in 1999, yamada has overseen two album releases, the debut ‘turn’ and last year’s ‘steppers’ (on fly recordings) – a mini album mixing new tracks with remixes from ‘turn’. mas collaborations include work with riow aria<\/strong>, tujiko noriko<\/strong> and gel<\/strong>. much of the editorial on the web is focussed on mas<\/strong>‘ live shows, fusing live instrumentation (trumpet, sax, kokyu – chinese fiddle, drums) with electronic dub – and it’s those solid performances that have seemingly filtered through to the recording process. the above mp3 is a long journey – rolling and building as it flows, much in the same way as fellow countryfolk buffalo daughter<\/strong>‘s last album of jams (‘psychic’) or a more controlled version of the epic soundscapes we associate with the boredoms<\/strong>. add a third japanese band into that mix – rovo<\/strong> – and it does look as if i’m trying to box alt.japanese artists into some form of tradition. even if they don’t fit, further investigation will yield mind-altering results.
