Fabulous! Along with the underrated ptf, TEE are my favourite new Japanese band!

[Zalmoxe]

Sounds great - will be definitely looking out for this one.

[Yves]

Interesting... never heard of them before. I guess I'll go searching for digital downloads of their first two...

[Camelogue]

I have one of their releases but have not listened to in quite some time.

First I have to locate it, could be a problem.

[Jimmy Giant]

Sounds great! Will be looking for this.

[TheH]

Good to see that The Earth Explorer still exist.

After the new ptf and Interpose+ last year it's about time for another of those few great japanese bands to release something..

Yeah... like Naikaku!

[TheH]

Yeah... like Naikaku!

That would be great, but Naikaku are certainly Dust in the Wind

[Zalmoxe]

Yeah... like Naikaku!

Or Mongol!

There’s a new Interpose+? I knew they were still active (despite one of their key members leaving to form...TEE!), as their website was still being updated (last I checked, Shinko “Panky” Shibata from Ars Nova was their bass player), but hadn’t heard anything about a new (third?) album.

EDIT: Well, that cover looked familiar. I guess I saw it as an upcoming release, yet forgot about it. I don’t know why, I like Interpose+, and was hoping they’d release a new album for a while.

Cool. I like the previous Tee releases.

[francofrehley]

I'm glad to see quite a few of you are interested in the release!
Yes, TEE has been continuously active since 2006 when the band was formed. Any of the members have not been replaced.
We have not toured overseas since we joined ProgSud in 2010, but been having gigis in Japan regularly.

For whom looking for the previous releases including digital, we have those available on CD Baby. Please check the following link:

Cheers!

Very nice! Will be looking for it.

[Yves]

Thanks for the link! Just downloaded their 2nd album, Very nice stuff. I will surely pick up their others in due time.

[Liquid Tension]

That would be great, but Naikaku are certainly Dust in the Wind

Bummer... I've been hoping they would do another disc...

[TheH]

Just got this one in and gave it a spin. Absolutley lovley stuff, Awesome!

[Scrotum Scissor]

There are still a lot of great Japanese bands active.

But very few doing the "old prog" thing.

[MYSTERIOUS TRAVELLER]

Or Mongol!

heh... I wish!

I have the first album by the mastermind of Mongol and it's not very good

[Zalmoxe]

There are a few Japanese bands that have gone silent over the last couple of years. Aside from the aforementioned Mongol and Naikaku, I wish KBB, ExhiVision, Tri-Offensive, Flat 122, Pochakaite Malko or Side Steps would still release something. These are all bands that were active after 2000. But I can understand how musicians evolve, they get involved in different projects and they don't want to go back to the style of music played 10-15 years ago.

[nearfest]

KBB's last release in 2013 "Age of Pain" was fantastic.

[nearfest]

and it appears KBB has a gig in December 2018 in Japan. Hope they record a new album!

[MYSTERIOUS TRAVELLER]

KBB is awesome! Hope they keep it going

There were rumors of a new Tri-Offensive, and ExhiVision is an offshoot of Prism. You should check out KYO-SEN and Fragile.

[TheH]

"ptf" have a new album "The World[s]".

They are close to KBB a little less Jazz but more Synph.
