I love the second song. Even though I don't understand the lyrics she can convey so much emotion by the way she sings.

So I was going through my plug.dj Japanese playlist to find songs to post for you and I found these. I almost forgot about Afrirampo. They get pretty weird and wild, but that is the sorta thing that draws me, the way Japanese bands are different. While on the subject of Boris: "Statement" reminds me of "Gigantor" so I had to add that too. Wata's fuzz guitar get pretty nasty (but in a good way imho). I love her gear: a black Les Paul and an Orange stack (amp & two speaker cabinets).

Has this thread led you to anything you continued to explore by yourself?

I think I've gone deeper into about ten of the bands in this thread and I'm planning on exploring way more. I have to admit that I've mostly gotten to the things that belong to genres that I'm familiar with (except John Coltrane, Kottonmouth Kings and Boris) or of which there's more to find easily. That's mainly because I'm lazy and in those cases I know where to start searching. It's funny that you ask this actually, because I've wanted for a while to explore further all that eastern European music that you recommend, so if you have any tips on where to start and how to go about that I'd like to hear them

Dharma & Greg - the first one is awesome, bouncy catchy fun, and I really like the chords and chord combinations. Like in a lot of these Japanese songs part of the fun for me is in the way Japanese sounds, it's a beautiful language but also very well suited for singing, I think. Is the second one what they call drone metal? I can't really get into it. The third one has a lot in common with hardcore punk, except the guitars sound more metal so it's less my thing, but still it's kind of a kick. The fourth sounds a bit like Philip Glass, I like it for the same reason
Neapolitan - I like the singing/yelling of the first song, and how they take turns speak-singing like some badass version of the Spice Girls. I started really getting into the music when it becomes a sort of psychedelic thing around 2:45. And the drums! Liked the whole song even better on second listen. The sound of the main guitar is not really for me (is that the fuzz guitar?), but I really liked the drumbeat switches in the Boris song, and the background oooooh ooh's around 2:15 that fit surprisingly well. I can see how the Boris song reminded you of the Gigantor one. I like the sound of the main guitar better, but the Boris song is more subtle.
This one's a lot of fun though

I like that description.

Next three bands are related sorta somehow. Adam Ant and Bid were actually band mates before they split off and forming their own bands - Adam and the Ants and The Monochrome Set respectively. Yada, yada, yada ... Then Malcolm McLaren came along and sorta stole The Ants from Adam (Dave Barbarrosa, Matthew Ashmen Leigh Gorman) to back singer Annabella Lwin - forming Bow Wow Wow. Adam and the Ants and Bow Wow Wow sound similar, where The Monochrome Set takes heavy cues from their influence i.e. The Velvet Underground.

Adam & The Ants - Stand And Deliver


The Monochrome Set - He's Frank


Bow Wow Wow - Go Wild in the Country

Anteater - I don't like what I suspect to be autotune, but the instrumental parts are pretty nice. I thought that I wouldn't like the second one for the first part, but I really liked the bass that came in. The psychedelic sounding synth solo that followed and the beat thing it randomly transitioned into were nice too.

Plankton - I liked the composition, although it's mostly not really my sound, but I became enthousiastic about that part during the last minute

Neapolitan - I really like that first song, great drums and energy. I love the Monochrome Set too (I actually discovered them in the Elph on a shelf thread) but I only know their first album so far. Love this song, it sounds less refined but rocks harder than the first album. The third song is great too, deliciously danceable.

ziggywas - The first song has a great groove, but I like the second one even better. It's manic in such a chaotic good way and the guitar solos are amazing.

grindy - love this song, the sound of it, the composition and the lyrics
