A heck of an album for seven bucks!

The Apple Store mysteriously does not bother to tell you here, but by combing the web I discovered that this performance is actually a live recording of Zazen Boys playing a concert at the Grand Opening of the Apple Store in the Shibuya district of Tokyo in August of 2005. It's safe to say that iTMS is the only place you will ever see this album, so don't hesitate to download it!

Zazen Boys are an up-and-coming band which has been considered a very hard ticket to get by the locals, and listening to this live collection will give you a very good idea why. I don't know if international success is in the cards for this Japanese rock combo (it seems that girly pop and new age are the only genres which Japan has any luck exporting), but they certainly warrant a lot more attention that they have received.

I've listened through it twice now. What an incredible jam band! The singer is a typical punk wailer, but the band itself is shockingly proficient.

The drummer and bass player lay down a tight groove that would make King Crimson or Rush proud. While the guitarists rarely bother to show off solo chops with shredder-esque solos, their constant prog-rock changes and fast riffs are downright mesmerizing.

(They occasionially bust out some impressive technical moments, as if to just prove they can, but seem to prefer to keep the solos punk-simple and straight-ahead, putting rock-n-roll purity ahead of individual Guitar God accolades.)

To put it in Hollywood marketing-speak: It's Yes meets White Stripes.

Bottom line: If you enjoy hearing fun music from people who obviously worked very hard at perfecting it before coming out of the garage, download this entire album. There's not a bad track on it.

okay
