BONDAGE FRUIT - II

• bondage fruit: II
      (1996, cd, japan, maboroshi no sekai)

Japanese band Bondage Fruit released their second album, "II" in 1996. It was their first album on the Maborosi No Sekai record label. Actually, it was one of the first albums on the Maborosi No Sekai label altogether.

The band's influences are obvious : experimental music, Zeuhl (Magma), Zappa and fusion jazz.
Not a bad mixture, if I may say so.
Add to this the compositional skills of Kido Natsuki (who one should also know as the guitar player of Kazutoki Umezu's Kiki band) and the amazing technical capabilities of the bandmembers and you get Bondage Fruit.

Recommended listening.
