The re-launch of Muxtape as a website that bands can have their music heard on the net (minus the unsavoury commercialism of myspace) is exciting news in it's own right, but the reason I mention it is because it's led me to hear some lovely music by more obscure and unsigned artists. I thought then that I could run this new feature every so often whenever I found worthwhile niche music to write about.This brings us to Tanimura Midnight, the electronic project of Nick Anderson, formidable Washington DC sound-engineer of The Tape Room/Silver Sonya studios, and Shelby Cinca from the bands Frodus, Triobelisk, and The Cassettes.
The songs Lovers and Tây Ninh have been on repeat in my headphones most of this evening providing me with much imagination stimulating relaxation. Neon pulses of electronica are complimented by traditional oriental instrumentation that could easily soundtrack a movie set amongst the fluorescent signs and skyscrapers of Tokyo. With a list of influences that make up the who's who of cult thriller/action movies I think they certainly have the right ideas.
