Since you are a connoisseur (Mekiki in Japanese) of Ringo Deathstarr's music as much as anyone, I can truly appreciate your thoughts and analysis of my own ruminations about this album.<br /><br />I like that you have a definitive opinion as to the band’s intentions on their song "Heavy Metal Suicide." Duly noted, and there is no public record otherwise (as of this writing) that disputes this.<br /><br />Also happy to know you are now a fan of The Stargazer Lilies. They really are wonderful. <br /><br />As are Dead Leaf Echo. Regarding what you have to say about them - I think they have already made some initial contacts with Japan, with an eye on touring there.<br /><br />I think with the right connections they will be able to find an eager and attentive audience there – just as they’ve recently done with Europe.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-15555781628245717142016-05-11T10:33:21.238-07:002016-05-11T10:33:21.238-07:00Thanks For Sharing I Like Your Post

Your review on Ringo Deathstarr...Ray Kimura wrote:<br /><br />Your review on Ringo Deathstarr's latest album, yes, I totally agree with your thoughts here.<br /><br />Especially about the influence of Cocteau Twins, Chapterhouse, Smashing Pumpkins etc.<br /><br />As for “Heavy Metal Suicide”, in my personal opinion, it's not the product of subliminal influence but the one of an intentional acknowledging homage.<br /><br />I thought "Gods Dream" was the best as ever when it was released, though, I think "Pure Mood" is filled with the quite different atmosphere, so, now I can say the latter one is their best stuff.<br /><br />As for The Stargazer Lilies, their sound reminded me of Echo Lake, the dream pop band from London. I love this typed band! Angelic female vocal style is my taste as you know.<br /><br />Dead Leaf Echo always sounds so cool. In addition, their images/looks are cool as well. I like their style. However, it seems it might be a bit difficult for them to get fans in Japan.<br /><br />Unless some 'wise' promoter/label owner in Japan strongly supports them, it will be difficult maybe. Coz in Japan, MBV is big but Slowdive has few fans! The Brian Jonestown Massacre is brilliant, though, very few people know them here in Japan. Even though Blonde Redhead has a Japanese vocalist, they are more popular in the US rather than in Japan. Sigh...<br /><br />I can't explain the reason about this precisely in English though, maybe many of Japanese music audience tend to hesitate to accept the 'edgy' bands... <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for your kind sharing as always here.<br /><br />Thanks to you, I can dig out the cool sounds from the US all the time x<br />Mirrorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694120266124132509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-72656724083624825522016-05-04T14:14:11.579-07:002016-05-04T14:14:11.579-07:00By all means please DO give all the artists featur...By all means please DO give all the artists featured here a listen, Emily. <br /><br />Both Ringo Deathstarr and The Stargazer Lilies played live in your hometown of Toronto not too long ago, at a venue I know you are familiar with – the Horseshoe Tavern.<br /><br />All accounts from that show indicate they've won over a new crop of Canadian fans.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-25856953736724279512016-05-04T13:17:26.782-07:002016-05-04T13:17:26.782-07:00

I really appreciate a great label name and reading a new-to-me term: alterna-metal. I'm struck by the patience you had in doling out the line breaks of the "Stare At The Sun" lyrics. By doing this, Croms, a reader can really feel the cadences and imagine the possibilities of that type of musical creation. Upon reading this, my brain perambulated to the part of Rush's "Red Barchetta" that reads "wind- in my hair- shifting and drifting- mechanical music- adrenaline surge." Bravo to RD for the lyric "your smile is a kind of torture." A+ dudes/dudette. It's also interesting to have consecutive cultural threesomes juxtaposed in "Big Bopper," specifically three Pearl Jam songs subsequent to three Macaulay Culkin movie titles.

It does seem rather ...My pleasure to write, Misty. It does seem rather odd that particular site has no review of "Pure Mood" on it. But then again, it's been a very long time since I put any value in what is posted there. There are far more insightful reviews on artist done by diligent music bloggers. Those are the ones I enjoy reading the most. The sad truth is that far too often once a site becomes too well known it becomes commercialized to the point of lacking any credible reference point.<br /><br />Glad to hear you like that Stargazer Lilies song. They are good people making gorgeous music. <br /><br />The same can be said for Dead Leaf Echo, who always seems to have something new up their sleeves.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-61707302377162933852016-04-28T10:49:48.573-07:002016-04-28T10:49:48.573-07:00thank you for this very thorough, very detailed re...thank you for this very thorough, very detailed review of Ringo Deathstarr's great album "Pure Mood!" this has to be the very best thing written about it so far. i can't believe that so-called "big" sites like Pitchfork didn't even bother to review it. ?!? anyway, your descriptions seem very accurate to the songs and are quite entertaining at times too! :-)<br /><br />i also like that Stargazer Lillies song you included here too. very dreamy! <br /><br />yes, I remember you writing about Dead Leaf Echo a number of times before. it looks like they continue to create wonderful new music. i like them a lot!Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01013524585031078331noreply@blogger.com
