Artist: FUSHITSUSHA Title: Allegorical Misunderstanding Label: AVANT (JAPAN) Format: CD Price: $20.00 Catalog Number: AVANT 008 Recorded in NY in 1992 with Zorn producing, this is the first studio document of Keiji Haino's ultimate rock band, Fushitsusha. "Haino Keiji's musical influences are a lot more varied than most people believe. An accomplished musician who has listened to everything from Scarlatti to Partch, Blood Ulmer to Django, Munir Bachir to Vassilis Tsitsanis, Haino's music is intense, visceral and brutally honest. One of the most enigmatic musicians in Japan, he is also one of the most prolific -- but this CD is something special. His first studio recording ever. Performing with his regular trio Fushitsusha, Haino is in a surprisingly lyrical mode here. This is a side of Haino you've never heard, Haino in love. Produced by John Zorn and recorded by Martin Bisi, Allegorical Misunderstanding is a very special one-of-a-kind listening experience. Haino plays for lovers only."
