After the first half of the 90's when artists such as Cornelius and
Pizzicato Five had gained international recognition and representing the
"Shibuya Style Movement", the world's leading area for record shops, Shibuya
had become one of the principle towns in the scene where underground street
music began to surface. Besides Hip Hop and R&B, DIY Hardcore Punk,
Bassline heavy Dub Reggae and Rough House/Techno were a few of the many
genres becoming active around that same time. This is where in 1994, five
people each with various different musical backgrounds had come together to
form the rock band, "Back Drop Bomb". Back in 1999 when their debut album,
"Micromaxmum" was released, the band's style which was fronted by the use of
two vocal/MC's could have only been categorized as a "mixture band" but upon
each further release numerous musical styles had been incorporated into
their works fusing various genres to the point where they have surpassed
simply being a mixture band and difficult to pin down to any one style.
The 2002 remix album release, "Refixx" was what really distinctly
represented the extreme creativity behind their music. In this project the
band chose various artists from all quarters such as Sonic Youth's Thurston
Moore and Jim O'rouke, Yokohama born reggae sound system, The Mighty Crown
Sound System who in 1999 and 2007 were winners of the World Clash
Competition, EYE from the Boredoms, Krust from Bristol's drum and bass crew
Reprazent and Incognito's Jean-Paul "Bluey" Manuick's side project Para:diso
to collaborate by contributing a remix track. No doubt, this selection of
varied artists clearly shows their diversification in musical tastes and
styles.
Though soon after, Back Drop Bomb's drummer leaves the band but the four
remaining members continue to be active with the help of a support drummer
and in the autumn of 2007 started the recording of their 4th album. The
album titled, "Venometeoric" was completed in the course of three weeks with
engineer, Keith Souza who is also known for his works with Battles, Clap
Your Hands Say Yeah and Lightning Volt at his studio, "Machines With
Magnets" in Rhode Island America.
The album, titled as a word-formation from band names in the British Thrash
and Black Metal Band "Venom" and "Meteoric" can be described as an album
showing their advanced expression of "Math Rock". While American math rock
representative, Battles had snatched works from such artists as Gary Glitter
and Slade on the German techno label, Kompakt and stretched them out,
reshuffling the beats and recapturing them into fifteen minute pieces for
their masterpiece album "Mirrors", Back Drop Bomb's album is, in the
broadest sense of the word, a dismantlement of the extreme musical styles of
hardcore punk, heavy metal, hip hop, reggae, house and techno. By
replacing the programming with live instruments, building variant nuances
and phrases in puzzle like calculations, Back Drop Bomb have constructed a
band ensemble of elaborate and extreme precision. In addition, the skilled
combination of Keith Souza's subtle engineering work makes for a simple
sound yet in parallel, it shows the diversification that symbolizes their
success in obtaining a futuristic band sound.
Their futuristic sound scape is greatly captured through the visual
production company, STUDIO 4°C/GENIUS PARTY who are known for their
animation work with film director, Katsuhiro Otomo's "Memories" and film
director, Michael Arias's "Tekkon Kinkreet". They have produced a video
clip titled, "Venometreoric" which is amazing artistic footage with
intricate color and lighting that evokes geometric imagery.
"Venometreoric" is surely going to be the cutting edge musical experience in
Tokyo 2008.

インのレゲエ・ダブ、あるいはラフなハウス/テクノなどが同時期に活性化。そうした
異なる音楽的バックグラウンドを持つ5人によって、'94年に東京で結成されたのがロッ
ク・バンド、Back Drop Bombだ。2人のヴォーカル/MCを要する彼らの音楽性は、'99
年に『MICROMAXMUM』でアルバム・デビューを果たした当初、ミクスチャー・バンドと
呼ぶほかなかったが、作品リリースを重ねる過程で通常同居し得ない様々な音楽要素
が複雑な構成や展開のもとでモザイク状に融合。彼らの音楽性はミクスチャーの域を
超え、名付けようのない突然変異的なものへと発展を遂げていった。
そうした極めて独創的な彼らの音楽性を象徴しているのが2002年にリリースされたリ
ミックス・アルバム『REFIXX』だ。この作品では、Sonic Youthの Thurston Moore
とJimO'rouke、1999年と2007年にWorld ClashCompetitionで優勝した横浜のレゲエ・

British Thrash /Black Metal Bandの名前でもある“Venom” と“Meteoric”の造語をタ
イトルに戴いたこの作品は、言ってみれば、Math Rockの進化形と形容しうるアルバム
だ。Math Rockの代表的なバンドである米国のBATTLESは、ドイツのテクノ・レーベル、
KompaktのアーティストがGary GlitterやSladeの作品から強奪し、15分の長さに引き
延ばしたシャッフル・ビートを再奪還することで名作アルバム『MIRRORS』をものにし
たのに対し、BACK DROP BOMBはハードコア・パンク、ヘヴィ・メタル、ヒップホップ、
レゲエ、ハウス/テクノといった広義のエクストリーム・ミュージックを解体。プログ
ラミングをライヴ楽器に差し替え、異なるニュアンスのフレーズをパズルのように組
み立てて、緻密なバンド・アンサンブルを構築。更にはKeith Souzaの繊細なエンジニ
ア・ワークとの絶妙なコンビネーションからシンプルでありながら、同時に多様性を
意識させる未来的なバンド・サウンドを生み出すことに成功している。
その未来的なサウンドスケープは、大友克洋監督の『Memories』やMichael Arias監督
