The Silence
“Ritual of the Sun (Worm Hole to the Universe)”
Nine Suns, One Morning
What a great band. This is one of the most complex and beautiful bands I have ever heard. The Silence is comprised of Jan Shotaro Stigter, Bass and Vocal; Futoshi Okano, drums; Masaki Batoh, guitar and vocal; Kazuo Ogino, keys, Bulgarian Tambula, Lutes, and pipes; and Ryuichi Yoshida, Baritone Saxophone and Flute. They have this psychedelic, King Crimson type of sound that I totally love. Coming from Japan, this band is one of the best post-prog band around now. Listen to this band and be blown away.
