Esce su Fuori dal Mucchio , la rivista online de Il Mucchio Selvaggio, la prima recensione del nuovo disco dei Tokio Conspiracy.
Nati inizialmente come un’alleanza a tempo definito di vari musicisti veronesi, i Tokio Conspiracy si sono gradualmente trasformati in una band vera e propria, capace di infondere una particolare impronta ad una spinta creativa già Originally extravagant: in fact, the five protagonists, fascinated by Japanese culture - both behind pseudonyms to disguise themselves as Myiuk (voec) i, Katsutoshi (bass, vocals), Tatsuhiro (keyboards, vocals), Shiro (guitars) and Yoshi (drums) - come from military or groups devoted to styles however unrelated to the original (Mr. Wilson, Aneurysm and Gen Brown). The situation between the grooves of this debut is pushed to excess, and the twelve tracks you can listen to the phrasing of crossover in various forms, art-rock, as they themselves define their music, with traces of gothic metal, electronics and even folk, with a range of solutions and varied rhythmic work on the sounds. The writing is not always well defined, see the naive "Shadow," but when the use of double entry man / woman is a perfect location, as in "River", the result is certainly exciting. Even the initial "lie" and the prog-like atmosphere of "heir", which echoes even PFM - without prejudice to document references - tracks that are proving a growing talent, and if the melancholy of "Lucifer" lies on a simple but intriguing melody, the same can not be said of "Little creauture" where is the spectrum of Nine Inch Nails, complete with sing-song to the Goblin degna di un film di Dario Argento. Insomma, tanti gli ingredienti utilizzati da questi Tokio Conspiracy, che riescono nell’impresa di incuriosire e piacere. E sul palco dimostrano quella coesione d’intenti che non è così facile da trovare. (Gianni Della Cioppa)
