Japanese-only live CD release from Boredoms featuring audio from their 77 Boa Drum performance July 7, 2007 in New York on two CDs. Also includes a bonus photo book and DVD. "Deluxe package containing the full 100-minute '77 Boa Drum' performance on 2 CDs, split at the point in between the two sections of the piece. The two CDs are housed inside the front and back covers of a lovely 8"x12" hardcover book containing 28 pages of full color photos from the event. Also included is a DVD (NTSC format, All Region) including approximately 20 minutes of short segments from the performance. The presentation on this is truly top-notch. It's easily the most extravagant Boredoms artifact since 1999's Vision Creation Newsun box. The performance itself is an extraordinary example of the modern-day Boredoms approach to sprawling, rhythmic psychedelia. Their current lineup of three drummers (including mainstay Yoshimi P-We) plus EYE on electronics and vocals is further bolstered by an all-star cast of 74 additional drummers, including Hisham Bharoocha (Soft Circle, ex-Black Dice), Kid Millions (Oneida), Aaron Moore (Volcano The Bear), Tim DeWitt (ex-Gang Gang Dance), Dave Nuss (No Neck Blues Band), Andee Connors (A Minor Forest, Lumen), Sara Lund (Unwound), Ryan Sawyer (Tall Firs), Josh Madell (Antietam) and Brian Chippendale (Lightning Bolt) at #77." -- ning nong

"Long regarded as musical pioneers, Boredoms have continually pushed sonic boundaries and inspired musicians for over 20 years. Their albums and performances defy categorization, each one a completely unique event. The one commonality is that the members of Boredoms have amazing technical skills as musicians, limitless imagination and the ability to combine the two -- as no others have. Finally, the first new edition in eight years to the Super Roots series, Super Roots 9, gets a worldwide release. Super Roots 9 is a recording of a live show on Christmas Eve in 2004, in Japan. The performance featured a 24-person choir alongside the group. Super Roots 9 is the first live recording of the band ever released. The CD, packaged in a special custom-made mini gatefold LP style jacket, features artwork by Eye and a 40-page perfect bound booklet with music scores and notations."

Japanese release of the most recent Boredoms studio album! [since licensed to Vice in the US] "Shaking! Amazement! A Thundering Blast of Fresh Air! Tears of Gratitude! Astounding! It's been a long time since their last release back in 1998, but a new work under the name Boredoms has been completed! The members have individually been playing in innumerable other bands over an incredible range, but finally the real thing starts! With the Boredoms' following of hardcore fans not only in Japan but overseas as well, what type of album is coming? This is an album to look out for!"

"Third installment of this awesome BORE-manip program in which Krush works out (of) the back-catalogue over 44:51. 808 bass bombs, large amounts of guitar noise, some great gated phased drum bits (a nod towards early minimalism? you decide), parts of certain choons left intact, morphed with others. Surprisingly not the low-bit late-night crackle-pop stoner hip hop jam we were all expecting but something... slightly more challenging in a way, with a good deal of plunderphonia, digital editing, etc... An unlikely match that works... oh so well (on so many levels). Just damn gratifying." -- Hrvatski.

"In what appears to be a match made in heaven (hell?), the Boredoms have enlisted Mo' Wax's UNKLE (James Lavelle and Richard File) to assemble this 'Dysfunctional Monster Jam', a lengthy (by Warner Japan standards) 46:01 non-stop DJ mix of various records from the Eye and Co.'s catalog, and it's a killer. This is trance music in the Paleolithic sense of the word, with occasional breakbeats and scratching (courtesy of the Nextmen); more of a reminder that the Boredoms still have a lot more in common with Amon Duul than Amon Tobin. Considering the fact that the Boredoms have been leaning more towards a non-stop approach both live and on record, always relying on a core musical vision that would be termed percussive, this works on a number of levels. Phasing, the stray bird or two, plenty of vertiginous edits, flutes, the heavy guitar on occasion, and Eye's vocals that resemble the chattering of the DMT Elves that sit at an infinite number of typewriters and control the universe. Oh, and the Deputy Dawg Rorschach test on the mini-CD poster by Naohiro Ukawa and Ausgang is quite a stunner in it's own right. Unique is as unique does." -- Billy Kiely
