Supernatural Hot Rug And Not Used [ same ] CD [EM1055CD]

Where do we put these guys? Too eventful to be "reductionist", not noisy enough for noise. Definitely not jazz. They think it's some sort of free rock, but most rockers would disagree. Nevertheless, Nisikawa and Olive both have rock backgrounds (Olive having recorded and toured extensively with Nimrod, Twerdocleb, and Soap-Jo Henshi), moving onwards and outwards, playing with a wide range of musicians including Oren Ambarchi, Birchville Cat Motel, Alfredo Costa Monteiro, Guilty Connector, Annette Krebs, Ezaki Masafumi, Andrea Neumann, Otomo Yoshihide, Martin Tetreault, Unami Taku, and many others. Recordings include (Olive): Nimrod, Twerdocleb, Soap-Jo Henshi, Jeffrey Allport, Fritz Welch, Phroq, and (Nisikawa): Osaka bands Brazil, Kakitsubata, Pocket Kinoko, and Ko-q.

Recorded in the summer of 2005, not long after a tour of western Europe, this 38-minute CD, released in time for a tour of the eastern United States in May 2006, features cover art by Supernatural Hot Genius Marc Bell. One electric guitar, one sort-of-bass, preamps, amplifiers, microphones, one big room overlooking Osaka. No effects. The view from the 8th floor windows provided the song titles.
