"Last week you saw in the announcement section that Japanese musician Asuna is touring part of Europe to celebrate the release of his 100 Keys/100 Rock 7", just released by Meeuw Muzak. I already had the 7" on my desk, but I didn't get around playing it. I realized too late I could be advertising the early concerts. I'm sorry. Not a lot is known about Asuna, except that he is from Kanazawa and that he has, apparently, 100 keyboards. They are listed on the insert, which makes up a cool list (and I'm sure this was thought of before the new Aphex Twin came out). In both sides there is a mass of sound. In '100 Keys' (I assume that's it), we recognize the drones of keys hold down and recorded together, but I wouldn't be too sure if these are indeed one hundred keyboards - not that's important. Pretty much the same concept is applied on the other side but then with the rhythm from these machines and here I easily believe they are a hundred of them as it becomes an amorphous mass of sound, but not too alien or distracting; it works rather well. A rather odd conceptual work and, perhaps, not something I would have expected from reading the announcement. I was thinking Meeuw found the equivalent of Felix Kubin, but then Japanese. I have no idea how this is going to work out in concert, but rest assured I will when this tour is over, as they hit my hometown too." [FdW/Vital Weekly]
