Phoenix Beats is an album collection of the pure dance and techno based tracks from the exciting rock/dance collaboration between Japanese band ROVO and UK ambient techno pioneers System 7. ROVO are a popular Japanese progressive rock/jam band. They feature two drummers, funky bass and innovative keyboards and are fronted by guitarist Seiichi Yamamoto (formerly with The Boredoms) and masterful electric violinist Yuji Katsui. System 7 is the dance music project of Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy, presenting a unique combination of tech-house beats and live musicianship, who have had a strong influence on the development of psychedelic ambient and electronica. Phoenix Beats is a 100% dance music release, and this is made clear as the album starts with two classic tracks from System 7’s original Phoenix album and Space Bird single from 2007. These first releases employed much of the Japanese manga Phoenix imagery that has been further developed with the latest project with ROVO. As well as tracks from the initial 2011 Japan-only release of the first Phoenix Rising CD/DVD and the June 2013 Hinotori EP, Phoenix Beats includes 4 ambient/techno tracks from the full Sept 2013 Phoenix Rising LP, ending with the beautiful ambient composition Unseen Onsen.
