stone drum avantgardism 2nd ...samusiro breaks:self-perpatuating counterrhythms JIGEN's erratic breakbeats somersaults...Genetic code inscribed with the particulars of drum'n bass has been overwritten...the most penetrating bass subconcious to high-arching streaks of bowed-metal lumnia and sustenuto piano................samusiro there

影のジャズ度がすさまじきビート、ノンビートに限らず音を追求してきたshiranui。それは日本国内というよりもUKでの根強い支持を受ける。shiranuiに対して残響ブレイクビーツやエレクトロニックジャズ、音響、残響感を海外のリスナーはダイレクトに反応を受けた。山を切り裂くような刀音とともにビートが時間を刻む、愁を思わせる記録。

After whipping imaginations into a brittle frenzy with the reissue of Jigen's ‘Stone Drum Avantgardism’ of the same year, the reticulated breaks and ghostly extended guitar tekkerz of Jigen's ‘Blood's Finality’ only deepen the mystery of this short-lived but deeply enchanting late '90s project. Filling a blindspot for lots of listeners, and living up to many stoned fantasies of jungle's unfulfilled possibilities, Jigen's work appeared at a point when jungle was on the cusp of calcifying into formulaic structures after an unprecedented run of innovations.

Geographically detached from jungle/D&B's UK epicentres, Jigen, like Christoph De Babalon in Germany, or - as we now know - Derek Bailey in South London, took license to head for the hills, splicing the style's snaking breakbeats with possessed guitar and wind expressions while it was shaping into nth degree darkside, jazzier or aggro forms back at source. Nearly a quarter century later, its reemergence into a scene that has been thoroughly raked over and cyclically reappraised, is nothing short of thrilling for anyone who thought they'd heard it all.

Crashing in with a passage of avant bloody clatter, the set's room recorded textures and flinty sampler lick 'n spittle chops feel even more radical in 2022. The all-important restless funk is there, unpredictably moving in the shadows agist backdrops of wind-played chimes and scraped strings on ‘対不破 (野弦太刀無銘)’ or rattling against trash can percussion and hauntingly beautiful pipes in ‘空蝉半機’, with lingering lacunæ on ‘迎火狂雲’ really recalling the atmospheres of prime period Photek or his acolytes SD, whereas ‘万年番外地’ tilts into pure free jazz noise territory, and the final 11 minute beauty ‘無季’ perhaps most uncannily parallels Derek Bailey's off-the-cuff riffs on pirate radio of that era.
