ALBUM REVIEW
BANDVIVIL is a current Japanese power-trio led by guitar player Issei TAKAMI. As expected, this musician has a powerful rhythmic section held by bass-player Naoki SAWADA and drummer Jun ISOBE. Our three men endeavour to play a music that is as powerful as straightforward, taking its force in a very wide variety of styles. Progressive rock, jazz-rock fusion, funk, blues and heavy-metal are thus processed and served very hot, with a saucerful of local sauce ! So claimed influences are also very wide: Jimi HENDRIX, Frank ZAPPA, Percy JONES (BRAND X), KING CRIMSON, Vinnie COLLAIUTA... Released by both the Poseidon and Musea labels, their first album "Junaokissei" (2004) is composed of two different parts ("Vivid" and "Evil"), each divided in eight tracks. (Musea)
