Mamoru Narita
The Raven On The Water Bridge
Subjective Spirit Sound SSS-113
CD-R
Debut solo release for Narita, drummer with recent Tokyo Flashback stars Retolt Mandala. The Raven... is a set of clattering solo percussive lift-offs that combine tonal clusters of bells and skin with threads of slowly-evolving string drones that work to raise the whole deal to the kinda tranced out-of-body heights that sound much more exactingly keyed to the experience of shamanic states than the endless parade of indie bellshakers with world music pyjamas and saxophones engaged in "mystic" improvisations. This one arrives in the zone right from the get-go and moves deeper with every track. If you dig Boredoms and Amon Duul as much as Frank Perry and Milford Graves then yr a fucking champ. Limited edition release on this great Japanese underground imprint.
