"
Floating Japanese Oof! Gardens Of The 21st Century
was originally released on the De Stijl label in 2005, spread out over 3 LPs in hand glued packaging featuring colorful prints of Matthew Bower's compelling artwork. To date, this remains a singular release in the Hototogisu discography. The original press info from the always interesting De Stijl label says it all: '
The Hototogisu is one of several pieces of Japanese cuckoo. Since the song of the Hototogisu traditionally signaled the arrival of Japanese summer, it was as eagerly awaited as the trimming of La Monte Young's nose hairs. The text of this piece likens the long-awaited first notes of the bird to the arrival of ones lover. The compositions on
Floating Gardens
are mainly narrative in style and more dramatic in character than Anthony Moore's drooping bamboo shaft. However, also contained are light and lyrical pieces which will touch the sentiments of the people of this time as deeply as Terry Riley's toes are dug in the sand. The package is impressive! A kaleidoscope of color as flamboyant/indulgent as Charlemagne Palestine's brandy-sogged teddy bears and when
Floating Gardens
meets your gaze, you'll be as bug-eyed as Phil Glass
.'"
