Mutyumu Experimental/Post Metal

Review by

Vocals always at the same level, phrases always with the same contour,
instruments always playing the same arpeggios, there's not much
imagination in here. There's a kind of metal that plays standard
phrases, standard progressions and are using a standard instrumentation
that simply substitutes level for passion. The general idea seems to
be: put the same old chord progressions and associated metal riffs, and
shout for a while, and you'll get music full of feeling.If
you are one of those that listen to the surface, the general timbre may
appeal to you. If you delve deeper, you'll see it's the same old
pop-rock thing.

Absolute
enjoyment! This album is a hidden treasure. "Il-ya (イリヤ)" is a second
release of a japanese post metal band "Mutyumu (夢中夢)". Though released
in 2008, this CD could rank one of my finest discovery of this year and
the last. First I put the CD in to my player and WOW...what a beautiful
piece of music! Last year with this album and this year with Mono's
Hymn To The Immortal Wind, I really love japan!Talented
band, beautiful sound, great mixing and production. Mutyumu entertained
me with multi-layer of music. Altogether from classic element of piano
and violin, glassy and emotional overdriven Stratocaster, funky running
bass, fusion-rock drum and above all an angelic, sometime screaming,
voice of the vocalist (think she appears in the CD package, supremely
gorgeous!). These instrumentalists interplay beautifully in almost
every track. One minute you are floating above the cloud and the next
you will feel like you are drowning deep in the ocean, their music is
just like that-- extremely emotional and adventurous.
I think I feel a bit lost in words of how to convey you such a fantastic experience I encountered in 
this album. One thing I do certain is that this is a very well-crafted piece of art. If you like post 
metal, I truly hope you would not miss this gem. Highly recommend!

— First review of this album —

A quite original debut from this japanese band.Mixing rock, metal and ambient music, with slight influences from folk music and jazz; this is a highly 
eclectic mix of tunes. The band has a well developed sense of drama, and are fond of mixing styles in 
individual tunes as well as creating variation from one tune to the next. The general mood is on the 
dark side; and style variations is a key future - both in terms of musical style as well as vocal delivery.
One to be sought out by fans of experimental music in other words, fans of bands like Sleepytime 
Gorilla Museum and similar acts should find this one quite fascinating.

	Gave a listen to their second album a while back, good stuff. Need to listen to it again though.
