Bedscape.......2006-10-20

Comes on gently, like a sunrise through fog. Though there are tenser moments that distantly recall Wolf Colonel or even an uber-blissed out MBV, for the most part simple elements like echo and drone are used as environmental elements to create a sonic blanket that manages to be soothing and fascinating all at once.

Blissful sounds.......2001-03-09

Yume Bitsu creates some wonderfully delicate sounds on this album. The longer songs are expansive without being empty and devoid of structure and the shorter songs quite a surprising punch. The creaking opening of "The Wedding Procession" develops slowly and quite beautifully, something of a highlight for the album. "Sharp, Twisted" has an organic shoegazer quality to it that is a nice balance to the longer songs. The band uses repetitive waves of sound to mask some of the more delicate work, something that becomes obvious after repeated listens. If you like Windy & Carl, Fuxa or Japancakes, then odds are you'll find something on this disc to enjoy.

Simple and sweet.......2000-12-11

Yume Bitsu have made a beautiful and moody cd. Somewhere between mogwai and ride with a hint of guided by voices. Doctor trips is the stand out track which has everything from the sound of rain to toy telephones. Very sweet.

earthy space rock.......2006-02-14

Hazily flows from one song to the next. Each song is hinged on an amber drone that threads the individual pieces into a living whole. Generally a mellow -- even somewhat trippy -- proceedings, with fewer of the tense moments that crop up on "Auspicious Winds."

Rock mostly in instrumentation...it's pretty far removed from a Chuck Berry or Ike Turner record. More like a soundtrack to a half-remembered dream.

Dream Beats.......2003-05-28

The band's name translates from Japanese as "Dream Beats". My first encounter with Yume Bitsu was made through [local] radio and their sound stood up from the rest of the so called Space Rock/Indy seen.

None of the songs on Golden Vessyl of Sound have titles. Yume Bitsu created the tracks out of improvisations, fragments, and barely structured pieces, and the band felt that it would seem contrived to create titles in retrospect. It's fitting, because the resulting album is hardly something that can be broken down into simple songs. If you are looking for similar bands to compare their sound, I find that "My Bloody Valentine" mixed with "Godspeed, you black Emperor" would be a good equivalent and especially on this album. Golden Vessyl is hardly mellow, ambient music. It is a difficult album that demands your attention. Golden Vessyl is quite rewarding and well worth the effort, you time and money!

Like swimming in lovely mist clouds..........2002-12-19

Off the bat, this is probably the best release of 2002, tied perhaps with Do Make Say Think and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. It's soooo glorious.

I found out about Yume Bitsu from reading all the offbeat music website one comes across when they are addicted to finding out about new bands...www.[deleted].com, www.[more deletion].com, etc...and I tried it out on a whim from the glowing reviews.

I was already an avid fan of drone-ish rock...Spiritualized and Dandy Warhols come to mind in relation to this group. This band creates incredibly beautiful and unique waves of sound. The term "soundscape" is overused, but it comes to mind immediately in relation to Yume Bitsu. Delay and reverb abound, but what sets this album apart is the variety of instruments, and more importantly the unique way those instruments are used. Track 6, for instance, edges along with dissonant horn notes, before giving way to sweetly crafted guitar patterns.

The use of vocals is possibly the release's most distinct feature. They appear only in cameo sections, but when they do, they swirl alongside the waves of guitar sound in most lovely fashion. Instead of being merely another drone addition, the voices stand alone, a rare occurance within the genre.

an epic masterpeice.......2001-06-05

yume bitsu's second record: epic soundscapes of guitars, syth and drums that explode in triumphant chacophany. this lp is a giant leap forward from their first record, giant surface music, and its epic grandeur dwarfs subsequent yume recordings with its dense layers of foggy guitar smear. if mogwai were less about quiet-loud and more about building naturally to the loud points, they might reach the glory yume bitsu taps into on this record. if godspeed you black emperor lightened up a little and let their guitars chime in major keys instead of sulking in gothic morbidity, and had occasional vocals instead of occasional samples of bums rambling about nonsense, they might sound like this record. if bedhead ever let themselves jam out the ends of their songs for 10 minutes and got really, really loud, they might sound like this. if yo la tengo had three more guitarists and all they did were those long songs at the end of their records, they might sound like this. if brian eno made guitar records with a drummer back in the 70's when he was making ambient synth records, they might have sounded like this. if tangerine dream drenched their keyboards in fuzz and delay, and recruited kevin sheilds to add guitar textures, it might sound like this. or something like that.

What a great album!.......2000-02-06

I think this album is super. Super-duper. I like to listen to it's spatialized, contemplative explorations of the meta-psyche of what it means not only to produce music, but to enact music.

Yume Bitsu's second CD full of blissful ambience.......2000-01-12

This CD by the Portland, OR band is wonderfully lush, sparse and hard to describe. Some tracks are melodic space rock, and others are all quiet ambient. The songs usually take you on a journey from tight togetherness to inspired jamming back to the full band. It is wonderful music to have playing while doing other things, or to concentrate fully on. Yume Bitsu's music fills you and takes you on an "epic trip".
