This is what test tube said about this release
«Japanese artist Irie Yoshihisa - irish’s real name - was born in Nagasaki, and he makes music using a computer since 2001. He has previously released an EP for MiMi, which is an also Portuguese based Netlabel, called ‘Killaz Sleep Peacefully’. Before that, he has done a CD-R: ‘Manufactures’, in 2003. irish’s Understandings is a beautiful EP that sets the melancholic tone right from the beginning. ‘Coma and Pray’, a down-to-earth IDM track, opens the set, delivering round punchy beats a-plenty, completed with angel-like, almost childish voice sampling and a deep ambient layer on top. Resembles much of WARP’s early material, back from the distant nineties. Short but effective, and very enjoyable. ’Square and Triangle’, being less emotional and more scientific, features some skewed beats and clicks, nice music-box keyboards and reverse/forward structure movements. What comes to mind after listening to this track for while, is our summer vacations in the countryside, watching the birds, the trees and the sky, joyfully away from the city’s concrete buildings, dirty pavements and dark roads, which is not what it sounds at first approach: a cold and distant laboratory theme. irish closes this release with an improv jam, between his quirkiest laptop electronics and Kazuya Iwamoto’s acoustic guitar, entitled ‘We played for about one hour but only 20 minutes had been recorded.’. This long take extends under our feet gentle guitar and click’n’cut electronic effects and sine waves. I call this ‘psychedelic folktronica’, but you can call it whatever you wish. IDM and Improv Electronics fans will love this one.» - Pedro Leitão
