1) Z (Japan) -
Experimental jazz-rock outfit with one album release "Mikabe" in 2006, formed by ex-members of bands like 100 lots and there is a light that never goes out.
Current lineup is:
魚頭圭 (Uozu Kei) (guitars,voice,contrabass,drums)
根本歩 (Nemoto Ayumu) (drums)
山田高広 (Yamada Takahiro) (bass,alto sax)
根本潤 (Nemoto Jun) (vocals,tenor sax,soprano sax,alto sax,flute)
Z was formed from the ashes of legendary Japanese punk band There Is A Light That Never Goes Out who enjoyed international acclaim for their 2000 album “IE” (Dim Mak). When brothers Jun and Ayumu Nemoto (drums) and Kei Uozu (guitar, wood bass) decided to split the band in 2002 they shifted their focus to jazz; Jun exchanged electric guitar for saxophones but traded none of the abrasiveness of their previous incarnation.
Drafting in Takahiro Yamada on bass in 2003, Z was born. The band swiftly set about establishing itself a reputation as one of the underground scene’s most compelling live acts. Support slots with the likes of Keiji Haino, Lungfish, The Evens and Medications followed and they even found themselves playing with Damo Suzuki along the way. Often augmenting their line-up with additional drummers and guitarists, Z gigs are always intense but never predictable.
In March 2006 the band released its debut album “Mikabe” on their own Grok Plastique imprint in Japan to critical acclaim. With its first pressing almost sold out, “Mikabe” has already sent shock waves around the Japanese underground with its combination of free-form jazz and explosive intensity. Its six tracks feature singer and multi-instrumentalist Jun Nemoto delivering an impassioned, caustic take on Japanese society over a cacophony that grooves menacingly. If Pharoah Sanders had jammed with late-period Black Flag it may have sounded like this.

In My Mind
Z Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, my mind is a crazy little place Wicked little thoughts taking up this space
It's okay to grow
Yeah, my mind is a crazy little place, Wicked little thoughts taking up this space
Its okay to grow
I get lost in my mind sometimes I don't know why
But I know why
But I find it to be a waste of time
Cause my actions speak louder than my mind
I'm doing the most, with what I can hold, I must let go of what I cannot control
I don't need you
In my mind I see you doing whatever you like
In my mind I see you get in my way all the time
Yeah, my mind is a crazy little place Wicked little thoughts taking up this space
But when I take action I map my own road
This is how I reach new milestones
Healing emotions, it's okay to grow
Taking all of my thoughts and letting them go, no
I allowed you into my soul and now, now you must go
You can't let go
I'm taking back all of my power and control
I don't need you anymore
Are you sure
I know I can't escape the dark within
Although at times I let them hold me I'll never let him win
Let them in
Stop playing pretend
Yeah, my mind is a crazy little place Wicked little thoughts taking up this space
Wicked little thoughts taking up this space
It's okay to grow
Taking all of my thoughts then letting them go
This is how the black sheep turns into to gold
Or so that is the story that I have been told
The song "In My Mind" by Z takes listeners on a journey through the singer's mind where she explores her imagination, the stories that her mind comes up with and how it feels to be lost in thought. The opening verses paint a picture of a world that exists only in the singer's mind, one that is full of enchantment and offers visual enhancement. The imagery implies that the singer is truly immersed in this fantasy world, visually seeing it in front of her.
Moving through the first verse, the singer finds herself transported to a red-painted barn, surrounded by a million stars that pick her up and spin her. This moment shows how easily the mind of the singer gets lost in thoughts and how sometimes the most amazing things can happen when one allows the mind to wander.
The chorus features the lyrics, "And now I am floating in a land of confusion or is it reality, or just an illusion" which speaks to how the singer often loses herself in her thoughts and how it can be difficult to distinguish between reality and imagination. The last two lines "when you get more, is when you get bored" show the singer's desire for more in life and the inherent dissatisfaction of always wanting more.
Overall, the song is a commentary on living inside one's mind, and how it can be both a blessing and a curse. It's an introspective look at how imagination can transport us to different worlds, and how often we can get trapped in our thoughts, leading to confusion and an inability to distinguish between what is real and what isn't.
