Zletovsko

Japanese take-no-prisoners avant-proggers Zletovsko released their eponymous debut album in January 2013 however the music group was formed more than a decade previously in 2002 by keyboardist Isao Horikoshi and bassist Shigekazu Kuwahara, the second option of whom was a founding person in the Tokyo-based prog outfit Pochakaite Malko. Kuwahara got also used Ruins drummer Tatsuya Yoshida inside a Magma tribute music group during the middle-’90s, and Yoshida got tapped him to try out bass on 1994’s 100 Places of Koenji, the debut disk by his Magma-esque task Koenji Hyakkei. Apparently heavily affected by ’70s prog giants Emerson, Lake & Palmer and U.K., the initial trio incarnation of Zletovsko disbanded without saving an recording. But since it proved, the globe would hear even more through the group, and Sweden’s richly multifaceted avant-prog designer Lars Hollmer may be seen among the catalysts — both mainly because collaborator and following posthumous motivation — for Zletovsko’s later on re-emergence. Across the turn from the millennium, Hollmer got performed Zamla Mammaz Manna music in Tokyo with Pochakaite Malko, and joined as well as other Japanese music artists including drummer Yoshida (who also sign up for Hollmer in the 21st hundred years reboot of Samla Mammas Manna) and guitarist Kei Fushimi for SOLA: Lars Hollmer’s Global House Task, which released an recording of Hollmer favorites the same yr that the 1st edition of Zletovsko was shaped. Years later on, at a 2009 tribute concert for Hollmer (who passed away in 2008), Horikoshi, Kuwahara, Yoshida, and Fushimi place their heads collectively and, provided their distributed musical passions and histories, the four decided to start up a fresh quartet edition of Horikoshi and Kuwahara’s prior music group. Zletovsko’s eponymous debut disk may have been quite a while coming, nonetheless it finally appeared over the group’s very own Zelot label in January 2013.
