Description:
Age of the Meiji era and Taisho Era and the Showa era.
Support of modernization of Japan, and important industrial zone.
Industrial zone in Keihin.
Here is made the base by the private company, and has developed.
The heavy and chemical industry had pulled the age in Japan before.
It was a symbol of energies of the private company in Japan.
Of course, it is important industry not to be able to do the thing that it is
made to lack still in our life.

I composed the music of "Ironworks".
And, i came across the photograph of Mr "Piyochichi".
The artwork is a photograph at the factory of UKISHIMA.
It borrows by goodwill of photographer Mr. "piyochichi" in Japan.
Back of the song, the sound at the factory is used.
I borrowed the sound source from Mr. "piyochichi".
I wish to express my gratitude for the goodwill of Mr "Piyochichi".

This song has fused Progressive Rock with Heavy Metal and Jazz Fusion.

Wow tadashi,
This song is hard core. I love how your work represents Japanese culture
and history. You express through music the attitude and mood of the
time period. I think the fancy word for this is "zeitgeist". The spirit of the
time.

Also, I applaud you for the detail you put into your work. The drum solo is
impressive.

Joel,
Thank you for commenting to my song.
A very aesthetic side also shows the building in an industrial zone.
Thank you very much.

You never cease to amaze and delight!! &mdash 05/01/06 - 03:48:07 AM
Tadashi!!!!!!!!!! You get brilliant sound - your production is absolutely
impeccable. I'm sorry about the complex English words here, but I
need them to express even vaguely how your music effects me. Your
drums are tight and crisp, with just the right amount of kick drum
thump - perfect snare sound! Then there's your guitar, which is
aggressive and, to my ears, rather good (Australian understatement) : )
Your keys are both technically perfect but soulful - I find when I
comment on your songs I often use opposites to explain sounds and
emotions: tight and emotional for example. Your posts here never
cease to amaze and delight me. Despite my acoustic rock background,
I listened to a lot of prog rock when I was younger, and your posts here
rate very highly in any company that I can think of. Enough! I love
your work Tadashi - please let me know when you put out a CD.
Best thing on MJ for me!
Thank you!
Neil

I wish to express my gratitude for getting the comment because of a lot
of words and the expressions.
I am very glad for selecting a gentle word for me not good at English.
I say appreciative words repeatedly.
Thank you very much.

I love this tadsashi...YIPES!!!...you rock!

Fran,
I am good at the ramen dish better than the guitar play.
I visit your house, and cook the ramen for you at one time.
Please wait until the moment.

Once again, Tadashi-san, &mdash 05/01/06 - 06:15:22 AM
...you raise the bar...

This song skillfully evokes an industrial landscape without falling into
the clichs of what gets called 'industrial music'...

And, where a lot of people lose groove when producing music that
reflects industrial things, I think this is one of your most grooving
songs... the bass and drum lock is terrific... The drum solo is great...

The synth is some of the most imaginative and even humorous playing
I've heard on synth in years...

The guitar playing is very good. The tone is superb, and your phrasing,
and the intervals are eye-opening... I hear bits of Jeff Beck in here...

Gratefully downloaded. You continue to amaze me.

Ed

cool tad sounds &mdash 05/01/06 - 07:58:48 AM
lots of stuff going on, nice industrial sounds 1/2 way through to give that
work feel as well.

Tad you put a lot of work in this one, but come to think of it you put a lot
of work in the others as well that I've heard!

Sorry.
I am not good at English.
There is such an expression in Japan.
An open mouth is can not shut.
Thank you very much.

Blown away &mdash 05/01/06 - 05:06:25 PM
*I'm sorry, but Einarus can not be reached at the moment. I'm afraid he
has been blown away. He might be reachable in Fantasticville. He usually
lands there when blown away. You know where Fantasticville is, right? Just
north of Magnificenta, a couple of kilometers west of Terrificity. Oh, silly
me - of course you know where that is! You've lived in all those cities at
one time or another!
Anyway, I hope you find him - he can be blown away for quite the time. In
cases like these I'm afraid he won't be back for at least a breath or two!
Thank you and good luck!*

All joking aside - this is da bomb!

months. great work. great track! D/L

sooo well. The instrumentation is choice, the mix crazy good, and the
song itself is excellent. Its a wonderful fusion of several styles I love to
listen to. This has them all neatly gift wrapped. Tell me you didn't
actually play that drum solo, key solo, and guitar solo all by your
lonesome. Thats so incredible. Very fluid, dynamic and a fascinating
composition.

Balance &mdash 05/05/06 - 11:48:48 PM
Sir,
I see this piece as having the perfect balance between the intellectual and
the expressive. I can hear the feeling in your guitar playing and sense the
intelligence in the notes you choose to play. As some one said before the
theme (as represented in the title is perfectly depicted) . Even though
you are one of the most accomplished artist here, you continue to
improve and that is a pleasure to observe. Regards.
