about

Big Shoes was released by Magaibutsu Japan in 2001, the compositions were developed in 1998 during the RonRuins/Guapo European tour and was mostly recorded during RonRuins 2000 Japan tour.

“Big Shoes is the second release by one of Anderson’s other projects, and as the name implies, it’s the trio of Ron Anderson (guitar, vocals, trumpet) and Ruins (Tatsuya Yoshida – drums, vocals keyboards, and Hisashi Sasaki – bass & vocals). Most are probably familiar with at least some of Ruins work, and that’s a good starting point for describing this: brutal slabs of bass and drums, heavy and direct, complex and relentless, although not as “zeuhl-ish” as some of their earlier work, plus the trio format and addition of guitars and trumpet give that aspect of the sound an additional dimension that makes it a bit more melodic, playful and edgy. In addition, Ronruins exhibits a more experimental and free side at times that’s totally unlike Ruins (at least any this writer is familiar with) and works well to give this disc a bit more variety. Overall, it’s a fun disc with a lot of unexpected twists and turns, and plenty of raw energy to spare. As bonus tracks, two six-minute improvisations with vocalist Haco (from After Dinner) are included at the end.”
