Japan's RUINS have extensive experience and a tireless commitment! A furious barrage of explosive and intricately composed drum(s) and bass (guitar) -- Ruins cover all stops between hardcore's hysteric intensity, free jazz's confounding inscription and the drama of progressive rock. No slack. No slop. Absolute masters of quick change, stop-start tempos and time-signatures, Ruins craft an unprecedented amalgam of originality, all sung in a peculiar language of their own invention. "Refusal Fossil" contains new recordings of previously unreleased tracks, plus bonus live performances. Twenty cuts in all- An hour-long blast of zig-zag calisthenics!
