DJ Krush vs. the Boredoms

The Boredoms are a Japanese bands whose music is more of an experience, than anything else. It is hard to describe them because they have done everything. Their early work [for me] is thrashy and then Pop Tatari, which I would venture to guess is there most popular album, is something that is similar in sound to Mr. Bungle's first album.
As their work progressed, the sound beagn from this horizontal scope and narrowed down to a singular stream. It's like in Ghostbusters when Venkman, Stantz, Egon and Winston combine their streams to defeat the evil showbiz monster - well, the Boredoms have crossed their streams.
A couple years back, the Boredoms released a Rebore series of various DJs mixing up their catalog. From getting into the Boredoms, I found out about DJ Krush. His dusty, dubby beats are the perfect sounds to study for your final for, write a paper, make out with a young lady or have on for some background music as you read a book. [I highly recommend his album with Toshinori Kondo, Ki-Oku.]
DJ Krush mixed the Boredom's catalog for the third and final volume of the Rebore series and the combination of the the Boredom sound with Krush's touch has made something that is highly pleasurable, noisy, offensive, relaxing and enticing. Enjoy.
