Zilch, 3-person band, with a Japanse vocalist (who made all the music), HIDE and two American guitarists, made revolutionary sounds breaking free from the traditional rocks throughout 1960's - '80's. Their sound so solid and the rhythm so speedy words so powerful, they can instantly knock you down. HIDE, this soulful rock singer from Japan, is an artist (originallly a skillful yet soulful guitarist) with natural talent as a melody maker and an instinct for turning anything rock. The words are with a contrasting combination of romaticism and sarcasm. It is a shame that some of the meanings of POSE and DOUBT seem to have been lost while the Japanese words writtten by HIDE were trans"formed" (not translated) into Engligh. But most of the songs are well transformed and the music itself is so powerful. It is the last album he has created with other Zilch members as he passed away due to an accident in 1998 but he stays as a charismatic figure (in Japan) and will continue to attract thousand of souls worldwide. HIDE's rock spirits forever!!
