Free Music Notes for Loud & Horrible
Free Music Review: Maybe 4 stars. Early recordings. Several releases on one CD.
Hit: 5 Stars
If you like HALF JAPANESE this is a CD you really should own. It takes the hassle out of trying to get your hands on late 70's 12", album, 7" and very difficult to find Take it! flexi (from a zine). All here, together to make one swell CD.
This is all nicely recorded material and has a few of their actual 'hits'. If you don't get into Jad Fair's vocal sound, well, you'll never like HALF JAPANESE. And, if you can't stand essentially free form, avant gard punk, forget it.
However, I find that over the decades, it's that very loose musical structure that keeps me listening. It doesn't get boring. I find that the band's cacophany of sound, their sorta head long diving into semi musical chaos, makes it unpredictable. There's the, of course, steady presence of tender love songs. The rest is a bunch of songs that challenge the listener to just hang on.
Fortunately, by the time the band completed their debut release, the 3xLP 1/2 Gentlemen 1/2 Beasts, they seemed to get out of their system the very amature sounds generated by just Jad and his brother. These releases begin the musical journey of Jad with several band members and, for HALF JAPANESE, the more the better. It fills out their sound and makes it less "doodling in the basement with 1 or 2 guys" sound of that 3 LP set.
Get it kids, you can't go wrong if yer already a HALF JAPANESE fan. If you ain't, give a listen to the 'listen' buttons, see if there's something you can hang yer hat on. Once yer on board this band will last you a lifetime. chrisbct@hotmail.com
