Takanayagi, Masayuki - 1970 - Call In Question

Fierce, gutteral free jazz, spewing chunks and blocks of full-on cataclysm. A massive energy corralled and thrown by the frenetic playing of guitarist Masayuki Takayanagi. A cacophony of seemingly little purpose but with plenty of power behind the squealing, screeching, skittering, stuttering, and sociopathic siren calls. It may sound like a bunch of noise but there are bounds to this noise, a containment of pure human feeling within this near-perfect storm. Even when it paces itself its meandering seems sinister and ready to pounce. The rhythm section underpins and the reeds (and flute?) accentuate and scour your grey matter, but it's mostly up to Takayanagi to fry your synapses.

pure demolition far ahead from the time (1970(!)). Keiji Haino was born by the bowels of the Takayanagi's "Mass Projection" concept of guitar playing here. the transformation of a cool-jazz guitarrist to the noisiest guitarrist that the free-jazz ever met. neither Hendrix, Velvet or Stooges (even Haino)... they are a bunch of kids close to Takayanagi's destruction in "Call in Question" (other one i would recommend is "Mass Projection", made with Kaoru Abe). it is an real introspective journey to our most raw psyche.
