a few years late, but a wonderful review of Hot Troche from Downtown Music Gallery:
HOT TROCHE - Yopaakuyu With Me (Illegal Art 110, USA)
From the same label that brought you the amazing Steinski reissues, Illegal Art digs out a mysterious young secret from Japan known as Hot Troche. Hot Troche aka Ryohei Kobayashi, is a maniacal musician utilizing electronics and his mouth (literally the sound of his mouth) as main instruments birthing a music so compelling it confuses and pleases at the same time. Hyper-active fragmented discordant grooves ooze out of this sophomore release which bring me great happiness. You can hear the machines fight him, sometimes gag him, but all in good fun. You will not know whether you should sit down to absorb on headphones or to crank this up and boogie down; both are suitable and enjoyable! If anyone had any queries about what dimension the early Boredoms stuff resides in or if Yximalloo and Adachi Tomomi has been influencing the young, the answer is here my friend. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! -Chuck Bettis/DMG  ¶ 1:01 PM
