Fast and furious

"Korekyojinn are an instrumental power trio. Their playing is fast, aggressive, very tight, and highly intricate. The emphasis is on ensemble acrobatics, so there is no jamming and only a little soloing, but all three musicians are impressive players, with all three parts (guitar, bass guitar, drums) taking equal precedence in the sound and structure of each piece.
At first, I didn't know that Isoptope was a live album. The ensemble precision achieved here is more characterisitc of a studio effort, and there is a complete absence of audience noise. Overall, a very impressive and exciting recording by a band with very few peers."
