Welcome In The Void

Pinhas collaborates with drummer Yoshida Tatsuya, who played with The Ruins years ago as well as Painkiller. The drumming and overall intensity sounds strangely familiar, as in Oren Ambarchi's "live knots". Pinhas of course is a master of looping, layering, often sounding exactly like Robert Fripp's Frippertronics, but for sure with his own style and beauty, and the difference being that Pinhas is accessible, contemporary, while Fripp was, I hate to say, a diva in his time which passed long ago.

1) (4:16) looped guitar but drums take center stage, intense, pounding, free jazz styled kick ass, too short, obviously a "radio friendly" cut
2) (1:03:57) holy moly, over an hour: begins immediate with the most beautiful intense looped noise-drone, after several minutes it quiets into his quintessential loopiness reminiscent of Frippertronics, drums kick in and this piece is just about as epic and fantastic as anything ever ever ever put to tape. Play the whole thing or just some.
