SYZYGYS Complete Studio Recordings
CD / TZADIK #7240 2003
The kind of quirky lunacy only possible in Japan, Syzygys is a remarkable
instrumental duo that performs infectiously original pop songs on Harry Partch's
43 note to the octave microtonal organ. With an uncanny ear and startling creativity
this music is as hilarious as it is delightful. Out of print for years, Tzadik
now presents the complete studio recordings of this amazing band on one CD.
EYES ON GREEN
SYZYGYS Live at Roppongi Inkstick 1988
CD / TZADIK #7236 2003
"With the cute innocence of Shonen Knife and the 43-tone organ of Harry Partch,
Syzygys have been fashioning twisted and catchy pop songs since 1985. These performances
capture the band live in 1988 and is so beautifully recorded it could have been
a studio date. Accompanying the delightful duo is legendary guitarist Imahori
Tsuneo playing everything from Bill Frisell to Arto Lindsay's skronk and bassist
Shiina Tatsuto. Absolutely charming: somewhere Harry Partch is smiling. Microtonal
pop for the 21st Century.
