Date Course Pentagon Royal Garden - Report From Iron Mountain - 2001 LP just reissued, and HOLY CRAP what a ripping take on Electric Miles style!
Date Course Pentagon Royal Garden is a Japanese underground free jazz/improv/rock-in-opposition/fusion/avant-prog supergroup, formed in 1999 by Naruyoshi Kikuchi after Tipographica break-up. He invited Yoshihide, Tsugami and Yoshigaki from Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Quintet, soon after expanding the line-up of DCPRG to 11+ people, including members of Kuricorder Quartet, Rovo, Asteroid Desert Songs and many others. The band debuted in 2001 with two albums on P-Vine Records: split record with Rovo and full-length debut Report From Iron Mountain, sometimes compared by critics to Miles Davis' Bitches Brew.
