about

「永久民謡劇場！！！！！SPKのように打ち鳴らされる金属音、漂う笛の音、そしてブルージーなリリックをたずさえた朴訥過ぎるうた… 過剰に放出された関東無意識集合体？？賽の河原で繰り広げられる地下レイブ・パーティー？？？極東ライク・ア・ローリング・ストーン秘録をキミも体験しないか？？？」（持田保／インダストリアル・ライター）

『弓神楽』に続く俚謡山脈監修の第二弾はいよいよ「民謡」。それは農村インダストリアル・ミュージック極北、「境（さかい）石投げ踊り」。

日本全土に無数にある「盆踊り」、俚謡山脈 x エム・レコードが考えるその最深部且つ理想形のひとつがコレだ。ジャーマン・ロックを思わせる跳ねない太鼓と鉦のハンマー・ビート、圧倒的な音量で一斉に吹き鳴らされる笛、それらが徹底して反復するミニマル・ダンス・ミュージックの極地！そのあまりにもストイックで鋭角的な音像は、電気を使わずに奏でられる「畑の中のリッチー・ホウティン」「埼玉のポーツマス・シンフォニア」とでも呼びたくなる。これが埼玉県北部に今も残る「境石投げ踊り」だ。当地ではこの古い形を残す唄と踊りを観光化することなく、盆の営みとして現在に至るまで続けている。

今回我々は昭和58年に埼玉県民俗文化センターが制作したレコード『埼玉の盆踊り』に収められた同曲をリマスターし、更に平成29年現在の保存会による最新ヴァージョンをSUGAI KENのレコーディング／ミキシングで収録した。石仏も思わず踊り出す、日本のダンス・クラシックを皆さまの耳でお確かめください。装丁は『弓神楽』に引き続き高木紳介（Soi48）。

released March 14, 2018

EM Records is proud to present, following “Yumi Kagura”, the second edition of the Japanese folklore music series, directed by Riyo Mountains. Japan has a long tradition of annual pre-harvest summer dance festivals, known as Bon-Odori festivals, which continues to this day. One of the longest-running of these festivals is the Sakai Ishinage Odori festival, taking place in Sakai town, Saitama, north of Tokyo. Unlike some festivals which function as tourist attractions for domestic and international visitors, this festival is resolutely local, with no professional performers, the music being passed down from generation to generation, played by local men and woman ranging in age from elementary school students to senior citizens. With percussion, massed flutes and vocals, this is a vital, living music, a sort of minimal disco born in the rice fields, agricultural “industrial” music, low-tech hard techno. This album features 1982 recordings, plus 2017 versions of the same pieces recorded and mixed by SUGAI KEN.

Riyo Mountains:
Japanese folk song research team formed by Mood Yama and Takumi Saito. They are resident DJs at the renowned party "Soi48" at Be-Wave, Tokyo, featuring music from all over the world. They produce the Japanese folk song mix-CD series entitled "Riyo Mountains Mix" and also direct the reissue series of Japanese folk music on EM Records, including the releases "Yumi-kagura", "Sakai Ishinage Odori”, and "Kizaki Ondo”. Riyo Mountains have appeared as DJs at many events/programs including NTS (London) and Japanese Bon-Odori traditional dance festivals. Their articles about Japanese folk music are now published serially in the Japanese web magazine “boid".

We need more folks paying attention to what sam's doing. This is unpretentious, forward-thinking, and fun as hell. It isn't afraid of being "un-jazzy" and it doesn't treat the standards with any amount of sanctity. This is what the spirit of jazz is really about. vasya

During the final days of writing my thesis I listened to this album on repeat for hours at a time. It was like being suspended in one eternal moment while all that changed around me were the ripples and eddies of a slowly meandering river. catharina_bee
