the japanese guy finally posted and it's a weird reply to muttonhead where he uploaded an extremely low quality binky soyjak as an attachment.

this has really been hitting the spot lately
there really aren't any other albums like semi-impressionism... not even the Meeting at the Off-Site series, which is filled with collaborations with other people... and anyway nakamura doesn't play the same at all. and idk if i said this before or not but idiomatic expressionism is nowhere near as good -- also because of nakamura. he is best when he's in the background and staying very subtle most of the time. akiyama is sort of a black sheep in japanese free improvisation because he plays kinda bluesy. his warm playing contrasts perfectly with a very cold, sharp, stoic NIMB akiyama. in fact semi-impressionism is exactly the same style of NIMB he plays on GMGN, which is also one of the greatest avant-garde albums ever made.
the album feels fine, i don't know a better word for it -- like when you're deeply appreciating the subtleties of an aged cheese.
