Tracklisting
Side A
Tiger
Side B
Fukumen Toshi
Released on Cragale in 1986, this is (as far as I know) the last PTA's release. Some of the same rollicking post-punk present on "New Songs" is here, though very much "reigned in" after having 5 years to become instrumentally proficient. Not such a good thing though, as I found their meandering, one-note strategies to be the totality of their charm, but the good isn't completely gone. The call and response elements of "Tiger" are fun, and the admittedly Edge-like guitarisms of "Fukumen Toshi" paired up with some archetypal Japanese melodies works for me in doses. Worth checking out, though possibly past it's prime.

Mr Anonymous : those Momoyo solo records have just been reissued by the diskunion label "super fuji" on Cd, part of their (fucking great) telegraph reissue campaign, you can order the cd here : http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/detail/3877876
I'm pretty sure you won't be disapointed at all as this stuff is one of the best music I've heard in a while.....in fact one the best music I've EVER heard.
Breathtaking sounds, for sure.
Bounce,
Thanks for the info. I didn't know about those Telegraph reissues either! Looks like some really great stuff is out so far, hopefully there's more to come...
