Shogun Kunitoki - Vinonaamakasio
Vinonaamakasio is the second album from the Finnish psychedelic post-rockers Shogun Kunitoki, who also performed in Estonia in 2005. Shogun performs retro psychedelic instrumental music with hints of krautrock and minimalism. They mainly use vintage electric organs as well as archaic tone generators and ring modulators. There are many bands with krautrock influences in today's music scene. Then again, the band sounds interesting compared to the others. Unlike making long monotonous guitar jams or emulating the old sounds (done with more awkward technology) on the computers, Shogun stands out for the hypnotic analog organ sound that sounds a bit rough and gritty, but nonetheless human and warm. Then again one could expect more from the band in terms of composition. Still, hopefully the band manages to develop in more interesting directions.
