Funifunikonefuni and SayoNowNara are both pretty decent. I think 2011's OM Sweet Home: We are Shining Stars from Darkside from is a better outfing from them and their AMT & The Cosmic Inferno stuff is untouchable. Pleasant enough, mind.

#albumshuffle Day 441: Pikacyu★Makoto - Galaxilympics [Upset! The Rhythm, 2017]
Master of heavy psychedelic guitar noise Makoto Kawabata working with drummer & vocalist Pika from Afrirampo. The result is spacey, but lacks that heavier/noisy groove from Makoto or the the manic energy from Pika.

A little treat: Mid 90s public access TV program that aired in San Francisco that covered noise, industrial and other abrasive music. Performances from The Haters, Killer Bug, MSBR, Macronympha and Big City Orchestra among others. Got to find my DVD drive now...

Plots a course some rock jamming, an assyrian pop instrumental, synthesised vocal loops, noisy formless improvisations, a home recording of a child that doesn't want to prepare for bed and a lo-fi and fuzzy version of the organ heavy theme from 60s comedy film the Ghost and Mr Chicken. Also ducks!!!

A couple of a cappella call and response pieces and to cap it off, a live cover of Neil Innes' Slush from the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band's contractually obligated Let's Make Up and Be Friendly album. The laughing is more of a distant electronic howl here, mind. It's all very compelling.

Those are the trio of pretty avant pop / ballad like pieces. Beyond that there's a cover of an indonesian children's song, some extremely compressed/noisy drum machine loops, chattering experimental electronic pieces that veer into chiptunes, drum and bass with nonsense childlike vocals...

#albumshuffle Day 439: California Dolls - Dragon, Tiger And Escargot [Commune Disc, 2004]
Hard to pin down album from Ami Yoshida & Chihiro Wada. I'm a big fan of Ami Yoshida's work in the Onkyo/EAI field and her unique barely audible kettle-like squealing vocals which feature on a few pieces here.

The other three pieces are more traditional with the taiko accompaniment on Break Away and singing accompanied by her infant daughter on Hope.

#albumshuffle Day 437: Kanako Horichu - Hope [Takuroku, 2020]
Four pieces from an Okinawan artist who sings and plays sanshin. The Darkness has this rich, bass-heavy synth and drum backing that makes me think of muslimgauze for some reason.

Grouped by function - field songs, sedenka parties, songs for banquets and weddings - these traditional songs are mostly performed by older rural women. Remarkable polyphony with a drone and melody part, a wide vocal range, trills and bracing dissonance. A remarkable project.

Features arrangements of Hendrix, Ellington, Handel, Lester Bowie & Fred Buscaglione among others. Of particular interest is No Potho Reposare, a Sardinian folk song. Lovely warm brass harmonies.

Not the complete show, but a nice selection: Strong start with Just for You, a warped version of We Are The World from Disfigured Night. There's a fusion of Buckaroo Blues & Blue Rosebuds, Constantinople for the kids and Benny the Bouncing Bump as an encore. Love to hear the singing Resident wail.

Sits between Wormwood and Demons Dance Alone so you get that midi synth heavy/digital percussion sound with Nolan Cook's guitar and the fabulous Molly Harvey picking up half the vocals. Curiously, Bridegroom of Blood is augmented with gamelan percussion courtesy of Gamelan Sekar Jaya.
