TPA CD Review: Richard Pinhas & Yoshida Tatsuya - Welcome In The Void

Richard Pinhas & Yoshida Tatsuya - Welcome In The Void

You can read the full TPA Review here

...Welcome In the Void is the second album of Pinhas' 'Devolution Trilogy' which started with Desolation Row in 2013. As Pinhas explains:-

"It is about the historical-political effect of machines and neo-liberalism, and their attempts to put people back into slavery. It is a cry to revolt against slavery. The trilogy is concerned with the devolution of mankind, of civilization, capitalism's devolution, and mainly the devolution of human/biological faculties – and how all this is related to the rise of machines."

It's his album and it can mean whatever he wants it to but for me it is simply a fascinating work full of breathtaking and brilliant moments from both men. I often struggle with disc long electronica that meanders without any real point. This album is different. There is purpose and excitement to be had and the journey is quite ride.

Ever wondered what it would sound like if a million guitarists seemingly play what they like whilst an army of giants beat on oil tankers with tree stumps? Well now we know. And it's good.
