"LIVWE!!" is the lone track on SR9, and consists of music that should sound familiar to anyone who's seen recent V∞redoms shows, as the piece (or some variation thereupon) is a staple of the band's repertoire. Indeed, there are few places to catch your breath during the 40-minute race through Eye's human turntable symphony.
Indeed, Rhys Chatham and minimalist composer Jon Gibson get thanked upfront in the 40-page CD booklet, so you can't say the band didn't forewarn of walls of repetition and tidal noise. Eight years after the last Super Roots EP, Eye (CDJ, turntable), Yoshimi (drums), ATR (drums), and Yojiro (yep, drums) deliver SR9, diving headfirst into an ocean of drums, voices and cycles upon cycles of subtle rhythmic variation. However, like most great bands, Boredoms/V∞redoms don't appear to let expectations get in the way of their vision. Being the best band on the planet at any point in a band's existence has its downsides chiefly, unless you release nonstop masterpieces, you're bound to disappoint a few fans with heady memories of the old records.
