Welcome to wild wild weird world of DEGURUTIENI and his ONE MAN BAND. Spooky exotica burlesque toy junk Muzak Trash made with broken cassette desks and fucked up record players feat members of Acid Mother Temple in some songs. this is a compilation with older songs (self released and on tiny labels) and new ones that never got released before.. i thought its about time that the world learns about DEGURUTIENI (i had weeks until i was able to spell his name correctly hahaha) he is touring trough the whole world constantly (pre Covid-19) performs in regular concert halls as well in theatres, Art-galleries, or even on the street you see him once you never forget him and you leave with a big smile on your face and a question mark in your brain.
Alco Degurutieni was born in the Nishinari Ghetto’s of Osaka in the end 60’s (Alco Degurutieni: that time in the 1970s was a rough time for everybody once a month riots in the streets red lights of prostitution parlours and yakuza “mafia” were familiar to us every day. These memories of youthful chaos have been a catalyst for my Peter Pan Syndrome since then) Degurutieni creates harmony through juxtaposition, extracting melody from chaos and decadence from junk. At 13 he got his first boombox and became the best customer at his local rental record shop, working his way through all genres from the Beach Boys to Black Sabbath. From 16 he began to create his own songs using the only things he had access to; junk, altered children's toys, and a beat up right tape recorder. All of these still play an important role in his music production today.
on that album you here ‚Acme in the afternoon‘ a true hit songs Tom Waits blues jazz burlesque then you got ‚Blur Blur Blur‘ super minimalistic lost in space blues or the incredible ‚Midnight Express‘ with a oriental trash flair that gives you the blade runner touch , the Fanfare Rockin tune ‚13th floor city‘ feat Orchestre du Belgistan (from Belgium) or my fave ‚Dreaming party‘ that sounds like a psychedelic horror movie After-Trip
