MAKOTO YAGUCHI [矢口誠] - Curve Mirror (from V/A - "博多 Amateur Band Catalogue '84" LP, 1984, MRP) Unclassifiable track by some proto-hipster looking dude named MAKOTO YAGUCHI. As with KAIBASHIRA-ZU posted earlier, this is also lifted from a compilation of various unsigned and, mostly, unremarkable bands of the 80:s - this time with a focus on the music scene in Hakata in 1984. As one of the two standout tracks in a compilation otherwised crammed with dreck (the other one being a rather nice punk-ish tune by a band called ELSE); MAKOTO YAGUCHI's effort is certainly the crowning moment of the LP. Quite a minimalistic track, "Curve Mirror" is, after some tension-building preamble, composed around a stilted guitar and drum machine riff punctuated by MAKOTO's out-of-place-yet-somehow-strangely-fitting hard rock-ish vocals and various guitar noises and synth effects. Falling between the chairs of several genres; this tune is - to my ears at least - both strangely and compellingly singular. My apologies for the background noise on this ...I've tried to clean it up best as I could, but my copy of this record is pretty beat.
