OOIOO Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Apparently critics have been coining the phrase OOIOO-ish to describe the sound of this Japanese experimental rock band meet avant-garde jazz or polyrhythmic progressive sound walls. Those looking for anything but brevity will be in their element, these are epics in the truest sense of the word. And not just in running time. The 11-minute "Walk for "345" Minutes, While Saying "Ah Yeah!" with a "Mountain Book" In One Hand, Until A Shower Of Light Pours Down" might be the longest song name we've ever encountered. It's slow build from staccato warm up into layer upon layer of cosmic greatness pretty much summarising this entire record. Put it this way, you'll not be bored for the duration with this mystic meld of Far Eastern nuances and daring rock.
