Kobi "Live in Japan"

Maybe it was the sushi
or the enjoyment of being in japan;
the concerts turned out to be more noisy
than you could have expected by Kobi.
Although ambient,
this is the most sonic album by Kobi so far...


Featuring:
Kai Mikalsen, Petter Flaten Eilertsen & Kelly Churko.


Released by End of huM, Norway

"Kobi - Live In Japan (CD, End of Hum, Electronic/experimental/progressive),
Kobi - Earplugged (CD, End of Hum, Electronic/experimental/progressive)

Kai Kobi Mikalsen kicks off 2010 with not one...but two new releases.
Kobi is one of our favorite electronic/experimental artists so we were pumped to receive both of these discs in the mail.
Live In Japan features live recordings from Kobi's 2007 tour of Japan.
This album may surprise fans of the man because the compositions on this album are much more harsh and metallic than what he have heard in the past from Kobi.
Although a bit more on the wild side, these tracks still have that peculiar surreal quality that is simultaneously puzzling and inviting.
Earplugged is Kobi's solo debut album which he recorded entirely by himself.
The album features one lengthy track conveniently divided into thirteen track selections which makes for an easier listening experience.
Both of these albums are challenging releases that will only appeal to that tiny segment of the listening population that enjoys strange and inventive experimental music.
Here in the plush babysue offices, Kobi always effortlessly hits home runs.
Accordingly, these are both TOP PICKS. *****"
