GOCOO

GOCOO are seven female and four male drummers who capture their audience with original grooves woven with Japanese drums, Taikos. On stage the 11 musicians from Tokyo create with almost 40 drums a music-spectacle beyond imagination. Music-wise GOCOO are one of the most sophisticated percussion groups of the present. The cosmic beats and uniquely complex poly-rhythms are of such primal nature that they reflect all known music styles and consequently unite people of all ages, ethnic and social origins and of any taste in music.

Harappian Night Recordings

Harappian Night Recordings provides working cover for Sayed Kamran Ali, a UK-based artist with connections to the whole Hunter Gracchus/Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides cabal. The Glorious Gongs Of Hainuwele beautifully conflates and confuses ethnic field recordings with contemporary rough-house string drone and otherworldly sonics, running across a series of settings populated by haunting Asian vocal transmissions, hallucinatory night-time field recordings...

Joji Hirota

Joji Hirota's albums Wheel of Fortune and Sahasurara (Sahasurara was released under the name George Hirota) are two of the finest pieces of jazz fusion/prog rock you're likely to hear. Amazing drumming in the vein of Magma, King Crimson, etc, excellent bass, piano, analog synths galore, as well as koto and other Japanese instrumentation, etc. His later albums are less jazz fusion and more new age/world music vein. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCAiZ4ns3ZM&feature=related
