descriptions, reviews, &c.

"Japan's KOENJIHYAKKEI (aka Koenji Hyakkei) is a phenomenon of modern instrumental and vocal rock. Tatsuya Yoshida's (of the renowned bass and drum duo RUINS), progressive rock powerhouse is Area and ELP at their most excessive; Deus Ex Machina with tempo changes multiplied by 100; and Magma at their orff-ian choral, fusion jazz, overcharged gospel peak.

Angherr Shisspa, the band's landmark fourth album explodes with glittery keyboard lines, speedy bass/drum workouts, emotive reed respites, and operatic female vocals that take the listener from sheer exuberance to absolute apocalypse... all performed with superhuman technique in confoundingly catchy, complex arrangements."-Skin Graft

"Towers over most modern progressive rock because of an attention to detail and an almost overwhelming force of conviction. No irony here: this rocks with the teeth and heart to cut through scenes and the "overground" like a knife." - PITCHFORK
"Headed by "vocalist / composer / drummer extraordinaire" Tatsuya Yoshida, this group is a boiling-hot, Stravinsky-meets-Sex Pistols stew of blaring woodwinds, power chord guitars, shimmering synths, and soaring, operatic vocals delivered by a front-woman 'speaking in somersaulting tongues'." - TINY MIX TAPES
"Not only the most brilliant of all of contemporary Japanese bands, but perhaps the greatest group currently operating in the world." - ALTERNATIVE PRESS
"One of the most mind-blowing progressive bands ever." - MATHCORE INDEX

Also available on colored vinyl LP.
