Just read an excellent interview with A Guy Called Gerald on Little Detroit, and was reminded of the sleeve notes for 'Voodoo Ray' on 'Flux Trax': "The only techno classic you can recreate on a pub piano with four drunken friends on handclaps and 'Ooo ooo ooh's"
The Boredoms are the best live band I've ever seen. I managed to see them on two occasions at the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, in their current three-drummer incarnation. What could be an awful muso/hippy idea is infused with a tremendous punk energy and Eye is a very charismatic front man. Seadrum/House of Sun was recorded with the full band, apparently at the beach on the surf line. Seadrum is very evocative of the sea, with its rolling piano lines, and House of Sun is an extended drone, which reminds of the very hot and humid days in a Japanese summer.
