Rebore, Vol. 2 [Import]

From URB Magazine
Over the course of the '90s, the Boredoms made the kind of swirling, psychotic free-metal frenzy of burps, fuzz, punk and spittle beloved to 'shrooming Sonic Youth fans but few others. In 1998 the shifting members of the Japanese collective harnessed their primal urges and delivered an epic album of freak-out hymns to being and chaos. Super Are's seven songs abandoned "instruments" like "penis," "tennis" and "assmouth" in favor of tape loops, synthesizers and lots and lots of drums. It took patience to find, but like the anarchistic funk and acid-fried jamming of '70s fusion jazz and Kraut rock, there was uplifting life energy pulsing within its turmoil.

Vision Creation Newsun continues with eight psychedelic paeans to the infinite wonder of every golden dawn. Intense cycles of drumming bleed throughout, aggressively interrupted by warm sheets of guitar noise, vocodered invocations to solar flares and sputtering electronic effects. It's cosmic-slop trance music powered by punk turbines, using turntables and guitars in compositions befitting both dreadlocked vagabond monks and psychotropic hip-hop seers.

The Rebore remix CDs are freeform DJ mixes pulling from the Boredoms' massive back catalog. UNKLE's "Dysfunctional Monster Jam," 46 minutes of thumping Bore-hop frenzy, is an enjoyable, hysterical ride and probably the most accessible thing that will ever emerge from their camp. Ken Ishii's 50-minute long "Unidentified Freaked-Up Outsteppers" is essential if you're a Borehead, but an overdose if not. DJ Krush is expected to deliver the third volume shortly. All three remix CDs are limited in quantity and prohibitively expensive: Perhaps someday technological innovations like the Internet will enable a forum where collector-oriented music like this will be made available to curious fans worldwide.
