Formed in 1985, Japanese experimental rock duo Ruins featured drummer Tatsuya Yoshida with one bassist after another: Kawamoto Hideki, Kimoto Kazuyoshi, Ryuichi Masuda, and finally Hisashi Sasaki, who departed in 2004. Undaunted, Yoshida forged on as a solo act, performing live as Ruins Alone and releasing the wildly diverse, dense, and hyper-energetic album Alone in 2011. ~ Dave Lynch, Rovi
