CD
Price:
$21.00
Catalog #:
IV 003CD
This is the debut full-length release by
Tokyo Black Star
.
Black Ships
is led by a team of production warriors: world-traveling French DJ
Alex From Tokyo
is based between Tokyo and New York, armed with his high-grade receptor antennae, and his partner,
Isao Kumano
, operates from his studio-base in Tokyo as a multi-talented, high-profile engineer and sound producer specializing in all musical aspects from mixing to mastering. As Tokyo Black Star, their ship has advanced through the galaxy, meeting fellow travellers along the way. Their encounter with
Dixon
influenced the start of his label Innervisions, their love of art led them to NYC-based, rising Japanese new generation painter
Tomokazu Matsuyama
, who produced this album's beautiful artwork, and their need for the word cast the voice of poet
Rich Medina
as album storyteller, lending his distinctive, deep voice to one of the characters in this story.
Black Ships
is not only Tokyo Black Star's nonfiction travel diary, it is also the supreme tale of traveling through the world of imagination -- an ultimate, brilliantly-executed electronic dance music novel within the modern, club-oriented electronic dance music genre. This is neat, ultra-modern slickness that encompasses electro-beat, tribal rhythms, jazz squawks, nervous disco, and so much more. The journey of the imagination begins with the exalted feeling of departure, sometimes steady, but also sometimes facing navigation trouble. There are climaxes, denouements, and voyages within voyages. This is the sound of distant ports, of pirates surfing waves of static, and space stations humming along on some far away galaxy.

After the release of their album
Black Ships
,
Tokyo Black Star
return to Innervisions with this great 12". "Caballero" is a tune from the album with a brand-new mix-down by
Andreas Schorpp
and
Âme
. This turns it into a powerful dancefloor weapon for the Space Lab Night at the sadly gone Club Yellow in Tokyo.
Radio Slave
delivers a fantastic remix that adds an exotic, more cosmic-sounding touch to the repetitive and hypnotic patterns he is known for.
