about
Since then, Ruins has evolved into a one-man show, with Yoshida doing what at first seemed impossible, playing it all himself - as documented on SKiN GRAFT's 100th release “RUINS Alone”.
Beginning in 2006, Yoshida would occasionally fill the vacant second slot not with a bassist, but with alto saxophonist Ono Ryoko. Ono has become one of Japan's most in demand studio musicians, performing jazz, rock, funk, rhythm & blues and hip hop, as well as leading her own band, "Ryorchestra." Like Yoshida, she has created her a musical language all her own, using a "non-breath" circulation technique and multi-phonics to pursue endless, rich and complex sounds in a progressive and classical tradition.
In 2009, Mike Patton's Ipecac label issued Sax Ruins debut recording “Yawiquo”, which found Tatsuya and Ono reinterpreting many of Ruins classics with brass in place of bass.
Their new album “Blimmguass” is highlighted by an all-new composition commissioned by New York's brass band Asphalt Orchestra which premiered at the Lincoln Center in April of 2012. Where the Sax Ruins' first outing focused on short pieces, “Blimguass” expands it's reach to lengthier, meticulously orchestrated compositions, including RUINS classics like “Vrresto” and Bighead”, as well as improvised pieces which reflect the Sax Ruins Live experience.
Sax Ruins transforms Yoshida's compositions from heavy, nimble prog to dense, hyper-kinetic big band jazz, not entirely unlike Sonny Rollins sitting in with Magma and Carl Stalling on the Warner Bros. lot or Borbetomagus calculating a perfectly timed collision with Naked City.

Every Night Something Happens
by Lost Crownssupported by 5 fans who also own “Blimmguass”
Too many wrong notes? Maybe, but I've heard the alternative and this is much more preferable. In the "Rock In Opposition" tradition, Lost Crowns doesn't afford you the luxury of an obvious chord change. And it's lavishly entertaining! Either the catchiest Avant garde record or the dodgiest pop record you'll hear in 2019. Richard's writing and vocals are superb as always. Since discovering Cardiacs in 2012 and branching out to related acts, I've continued to hear some of the most inventive stuff out there, and this record takes the cake. Perhaps the crown, if it ever turns up.

Spidermilk
by The Mercury Treesupported by 5 fans who also own “Blimmguass”
You've heard of earworms, now try some giant earachnids... okay, I apologize for milking it. But, I tell you true: spider imagery really does capture the lush, off-kilter, slightly touched beauty of this record. Anchored by the comforting familiarity of the diatonic, but spinning xenharmonic prog melodies like nothing you're statistically likely to have heard before outside of a DMT dream, The Mercury Tree have made a proper prog record with Spidermilk. Solid contender for AOTY right here.

The whole style is unique, no formula pop toxin here. Not unlike Black Cobra and Inquisition, BB punch far above their weight and numbers. Buy it.
