Adachi Kyodai is the name of a duet made of two brothers, Ryusuke (Guitars) and Source K. ADACHI (Guitars & vocals). As influenced by John McLAUGHLIN and Al Di MEOLA as by JETHRO TULL and KING CRIMSON, those skilled musicians have played with international stars such as Elton DEAN (GONG). After a first album called "Blood And Instinct", those two Japanese musicians issue once again an album, this time eponymous and co-produced in 2003 by the Musea and Poseidon labels. We can then find here twelve concise and mainly instrumental tracks, some original compositions and some covers arranged for two guitars (KING CRIMSON's "I Talk to the Wind" as well as JETHRO TULL's "Mother Goose" and "Cheap Day Return"). Adachi Kyodai are two acoustic guitar prodigies, full of energy, feeling and innovative musical ideas, especially in the strings dialogue and in the rhythmic work. At the end of the day, we have quite a good album, gifted with a high level of musical quality. Two years later, our two-fer.
