Artist: YOSHIMIO
Title: Yunnan Colorfree
Label: COMMMONS (JAPAN)
Format: CD/DVD
Price: $45.00
Catalog #: RZCM 45720CD
Japanese-only exclusive release, packaged in deluxe gatefold digipak. Yoshimio features Yoshimi from Boredoms/OOIOO w/guest vocals by Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth (which includes a cover of "Death Valley '69"). Musically it's mostly a solo release by Yoshimi (featured on steel guitar, vocals, shell syntheizer, percussions, electric guitar, shaker, bell, whistle, drum machine, keyboards, drums, field recordings, etc.). The music is a soundtrack to a documentary movie of the same name; the movie focuses on the women of Yunnan, a remote area in southern China -- near Tibet, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam. This movie (which is included as the DVD in this 2 disc set) is 42 minute film with various street shots of these Yunnan woman -- in the markets, looking at food, in the fields and just standing around in total elegance, in the most colorful clothing imaginable -- with no-narration or overt linear intention. Not exactly Sublime Frequencies style, but not that far off, either! And Yoshimio's ethno-trance soundtrack works perfectly. DVD is NTSC region free; Color; Stereo.

Artist: EYE, YAMATAKA
Title: Re... Remix?
Label: COMMMONS (JAPAN)
Format: CD
Price: $33.00
Catalog #: RZCM 45795CD
Japanese-exclusive compilation of remix works by Yamataka Eye! Features various remixes that Eye has done over the past decade (most impossible to track down individually) of the likes of Gong, OOIOO, Atami, Flare (Ken Ishii), etc. Tracklisting: Walrus: "Moth (remixed by Eye)"; DJ Pica Pica Pica: "Spa"; Boat: "African Dawn Remix"; Flare (Ken Ishii): "Turbinates"; NXS: "Sleeper" (Micro Forest Mix 2000); Zeebra: "Smokin' At The Lobby (Your Turn) (Magic Mushroom Mix)"; Gong: "Master Builder (EYE Mix) ; Wrench: "Cosmic Hierarchy (EYE remix)"; OOIOO: "Asozan" (EYE Mix)"; Atami: "Nightingale (x-mas mix)"; Black Drop Bomb: "When The Man Have Realized The Sound-Flow (it's like that)" plus one more we're too incompetent to figure out. Maybe it's Kawamoto Makoto's version of "Gimme Shelter"? One artist originally announced (Black Dice) didn't seem to make the final cut.
