[RE PLAY]Korekyojinn--Jackson [2006]

Yet another of Yoshida Tatsuya's many musical projects, KOREKYOJIN sees the RUINS mainman working with Kido Natsuki, BONDAGE FRUIT's guitar ace, and sometime GROUND ZERO bassist Nasuno Mitsuru.

The band originally convened in 1999 and released their well received debut album, recorded in a single day. It looked as though that would be all from this particular line up, but 5 years later they reconvened and recorded "Arabesque", which was subsequently withdrawn and reissued with extra live tracks. A (mostly) live album, "Isotope", followed in 2005 and a third studio album, "Jackson", was recorded in 2006. While the style will be recognisable to fans of KOENJIHYAKKEI and RUINS, KOREKYOJIN has its own sound and musical agenda. Almost everything is composed by Yoshida, barring some brief group improvisations, and there are no vocals. The playing is extremely tight and has a strong jazz influence with an unexpected but highly effective dash of funk thrown in for good measure. The compositions and arrangements push all three members of the band to their limits without ever descending into pointless noodling or lengthy solos, and there are some truly beathtaking instrumental performances on all their releases.
