TOSCCO
RUNE 93

|
Toscco is the much anticipated 2nd release from Japan's premier Zeuhl smokers. Still an instrumental quartet of keyboards, guitar, bass & drums, the years of work & playing since their 1st release have given them even more confidence & a more "gritty" sound. The addition of new guitarist Takahiro Izutani has also notched up the energy level. He's also a fine songwriter, & has contributed a new slant to their sound. This is a big step forward from their much appreciated first.
"Monster Japanese Zeuhl; the spirit of Magma, Unives Zero, Weidorje and King Crimson locked together in a furious fusion..."-Audion.
"Happy Family are one of the best Japanese bands to have played in the past decade. The group interaction is incredible..." - Gibraltar Vol 4, #47
"The instrumental inventiveness & agressiveness of this band are things that must be heard to be believed. In summary, what Toscco shows is growth, not stagnation. |

HAPPY FAMILY
RUNE 73

Influenced by groups such as Magma, Univers Zero, King Crimson and Area. If you can imagine a full CD's worth of the kind of inspired playing and intensity of "De Futura", you'll have an idea of what this is! |
