Wtf is this background music? Very annoying.

I'm 3 years late to your cool story on The Unforgiven. But I would like to share that I recorded a one hour set of The Unforgiven in 1986. Recently retired from the IE I found the old VHS tape while moving, transferred it from a VCR, and then got permission from Steve and Alan to upload it. Don't judge my camera work or editing, just enjoy the music. That night in '86 I carried my parents battery powered VCR on my back with a corded camera and greyscale tiny viewfinder. That was video life 38 years ago! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLB-as2atrG8Ymw.html

Finally, I've been looking for a channel that talks about Ruins outside of a mention here and there. Ruins is among my favorite bands and Tatsuya Yoshida is my favorite drummer. Even though Ruins is a hit or miss band, they do great material when they do hit. The japanese prog scene, especially in the 90s, is real fascinating in general. If you want other bands that do their own unique twist on Zhuel or Noise it's a great place to start. I've heard you mention Bondage Fruit multiple times, but Happy Family and Tipographica are also great bands in the scene as well. Would love to see a video on Tipographica, I just think they were among the more interesting bands sonically in the scene.

Chico and Hector says hello.

I still find it hilarious that the "throwing horns" hand sign is used to mean "I slept with your wife" in Italy. 24:44 A Vaguely Mystical Affection For Branding Purposes just sounds like it should be a Spinal Tap album.

This was well written, well edited, and even to a decades long Dan fan, very insightful. Thank you.

Try looking up anything about the j*ws on google and you’ll see how much the search engine optimization protects them and prevents anything negative about them from showing up in the results

Thanks for this - I’m now very intrigued by Ruins. You know, it’s occurred to me that you might be the one who could make a good doc in English on another Japanese band, Les Rallizes Denudes. Any chance?

Grandma??? I always thought it was Lovecrafts vision of the Wendigo....takes place either in the NE or maybe the Midwest.... love the video.... 😎

Dude... you do know the Harvest Moon is in September... right 👍

Interesting documentary i am agreeing with Bailly Theory that Scythians were the remnants of more advanced ancient civilization probably what Greek called Hpyerborea.

Okay having listened... well it seems like as an artist the lead somehow fails to understand art, art would die without the struggle, a utopia would be my hell as it is where creativity dies, you need the conflict to have adaptation... I thought from the video on Ruins Magma would resonate with me more but it seems Magma just lack the introspection required to know what art even is, or to grasp basic ideas like utopia (given the idea of being utopian yet having an "ultimate weapon" The ideas behind it sound like delusional jaded hippies which kinda fits the jazz vibe, the kind of hippies who lost all higher function to the chemicals they ingested back in the 60's. A terrible take on creativity blended with religion and the kind of dirt brain you can't recover from is not what I expected from a precursor to Ruins. Magma writes the idea of Kobians as something more akin to Nazi's than an actual utopian & creative race (which again would be a paradoxical pairing of tags for one race anyway ignoring the fact that as mentions utopian communities don't carry undisclosed super-weapons) Unlike the idea of Valhalla their warring lore comes across and hateful and lacking in passion or anything worthy of respect, their lore is an edgy teen eating a medicine cabinet and getting locked in eternal psychosis despite clearly wishing to pull on the idea of Valhalla. Trust the french to be delusional, a country that thinks a city stinking of piss and cheese is romantic isn't expected to produced well adjusted or smart people. So yeah, was expecting to like em going in but Magma are pretentious trash with weird religious cult bullshit in it's lore, fuck em.

As much as I can respect their work, going entirely on the opening piece, this is Jazz not rock, it might be hardcore or heavy jazz but it is jazz, RUINS is rock (in quite literally every sense). These guys sound like they quite literally wrote the soundtrack to JAZZPUNK. It could be the lack of a notable heavy bassline, it could be the weird instrumental choices, it could be their whole vibe but the rock of their music is is lacking, it sounds more like an acid trip than the inner rage turned outward at the systems that form it that is rock & roll.

Heaven Forbid is a Great album! I became aware of it when a bass player friend of mines band happened to open for BÖC on that tour. When I learned they had a new album I had to check it out. I immediately became a fan of the album. Harvest Moon being the hilight but it has many gems. My favorite songs on the album all seem to be tunes Buck sang. "X RAY EYE'S" "DAMAGED" "REAL WORLD" "HARVEST MOON" "REAL WORLD" really seems to have a classic BOC kinda feel to it. Really shocked the album isn't way more known of and popular. I know for myself as a long time fan its one of my favorites. Any BÖC fan NOT familiar with HEAVEN FORBID needs to be!!

KZfaq search is the worst, i try to search for a problem about setting up the router, and it gives me irrelevant videos mostly the videos i watched so i get distracted and watch them again so they could earn more ad money.

My wife and I have hiked through the Northfield's "Satan's Kingdom" a few times. It's a lovely piece of woodland.

shadow of the torturer mentioned 44:10 !!!!

What a great video, nice to see you again! I was just thinking about you and checked and discovered you had uploaded something new, how joyous! I can't say Ruins is for me, I wasn't big into Magma. Maybe this is too avant-garde for me, oh well, that was still a very interesting documentary! And don't think we don' notice the Roerich backgrounds, hehe.

Found this channel through either weird mystery stuff or the magnet the bear video being shown in the algorithm, pleasantly surprised to see the weird music stuff show up

I didn't think Ruins was so hardcore, considering all the other Japanese noise music.

love this group, got into them moreso because the shorter tracks are like grindcore/powerviolence microsongs rather than through Zeuhl

Brutal Prog is amazing if you get it

Their album infect gave me tinnitus. Great

It really goes hard. No clickbait.

ZEUHL MENTIONED

Stone Freak? Reminds me of the Stoned Freaks of old Chicago, lol

Iwrestledabearonce has vague semblance to this sound. I wouldn't be surprised if they were influenced as such.

Awesome! Glad to see this video at long last

Praha in Spring is a banger and i love being completely unable to hum it

Jesus what a coincidence. I was thinking "hey when did my lad Pseudiom last upload? It's been a while ennit?" so I went to your channel page only to find you had uploaded 20 minutes ago.

My Ruins record store story: While working at LA’s Tower Records on Sunset in the mid ‘90s, I played Ruins over the store’s audio system. A customer walked up to the info desk and asked, “What is this?” I replied, “Ruins.” He then thanked me and said, “I just wanted to know so I never buy it.” The manager was out at the time-or I would’ve never dared. I did receive a stern talking to upon his return. “This isn’t Aron’s.” (Edit: I just realized that my Ruins record store story is also that customer’s Ruins record store story-most likely untold.)

Japan always has the most interesting and obscure bands

I see upload i click

The bejeweled guys made plants vs zombies??

Don Bolles=the Germs

The people have become empty, not just the internet. The people become like the bots

Great video. ❤ I just came across Wordsworth books at a floating library and saw them, I got the good covers of war and peace and Anna Karenina but I did come across a terrible cover of The Count Of Monty Cristo. It was so horrid that no one picked me it up lol.

I love terraria music

🤔

Idk why but terraria music is always nostalgic to me even tho I only played it a little bit when I was like 11

Honestly, offering 3 was unbelievable

Good work, overall, you did a very good job with this! With my comments, I don't mean to be overly critical. You did a phenomenal job of giving an overview of Kobaian mythology.

Yannik Top. Not "jhanik". He was low key the only musician in Magma on par with Vander himself.

Theusz Hamtaahk, BBC Londres (1974) is by far the best version!

This music is god awful especially when youre trying to concentrate on what the guy is saying please just dont use music next time

It's the Saturn symbol

The reason Rolf is included? Canada

Yandex is tons better search engine right now than google and bing combined.

its a big problem, if the answer you are looking for is like 20 bytes/characters of information which google just steals and embeds into the search results above the links to the sites providing the information. but on the other side it's good for the consumers since it reduces traffic to advertisers when not loading a whole different page and all its assets...

Capitalism causes this in any sector it wasnt in before. From games to movies and healthcare and government. It ruins everything for society while working fine for a small minority of morbidly wealthy capitalists.
