Senbo no Go

[Machine Translation] Yao Imoriya has been supporting the backbone of bloodthirsty butchers for more than a quarter of a century, and in a sense, he is responsible for the one and only bass sound that has made the butchers what they are. Manabu Hiramatsu of fOUL, who was trained by YAMORIYA while living in Sapporo, has established a firm position as an original bassist who goes his own way. The first album of this astonishing bass unit, which is composed of two geniuses facing each other with the bass drum in between. The miraculous sound of bass+bass+bass drum is the essence of the album's format, and a melancholic bass accompaniment permeates the entire album, creating an expansive world that is hard to believe was created by a four-string bass in normal tuning. The guests add unexpected depth and color! This album is a remarkable work by a different talent that has had a great influence on many bassists and caused a kind of resignation, further expanding the appeal and possibilities of the bass guitar! The title of the album is inspired by the hometown of Sagamiya.

bloodthirsty butchersの屋台骨を四半世紀以上に亘って支え続け、ある意味で"ブッチャーズをブッチャーズたらしめた"とも言うべき唯一無二のベース・サウンドを担った射守矢雄。札幌在住時に射守矢の薫陶を受け、我が道を行く独創的なベーシストとして確固たるポジションを築いたfOULの平松学。ふたりの鬼才がバスドラを挟んで対峙した驚愕の低音ユニットのファースト・アルバム。ベース+ベース+バスドラという骨格だけのフォーマットで本質を鳴らす奇蹟のサウンドは哀愁の通奏低音が全編を貫き、4本弦/ノーマル・チューニングのベースによるものとは思えないような拡がりある世界を構築。更にゲスト陣が思いもよらぬ深みと彩りを添える! 多くのベーシストに多大な影響とある種の諦念をもたらせた異能が、ベースの魅力と可能性を更に拡げた快心作! アルバムタイトルは射守矢の故郷をモチーフとしている。
