 ”We Think As Instruments“ perfectly describes John Tejada’s and Takeshi Nishimoto’s ongoing journey, exploring the possibilities of a two-piece band, bringing together delicate electronics and free-floating acoustic instruments. Floating is one of the keywords here. Tejada, most and best known for his dancefloor-influenced productions, is the head of the flow research department by definition, Nishimoto, who’s favourite guitar is a custom-built 7-string, is a dedicated music lover, fascinated by genres and styles too numerous to mention, influences he successfully incorporates in I’m Not A Gun, a project for which the worn-out post-Chicago metaphor never worked and will be officially buried by the last few, once they listened to this album. The tracks perfectly blend both worlds the artists originally grew up in and push the hybrid of digital tightness and soulful playfullness into a new dimension.

近幾年尋求電子音樂與傳統樂器匯聚交融的潮流裡，電子舞曲超級DJ之一的John Tejada與日本吉他手西本毅(Takeshi Nishimoto)組成的 I'm Not A Gun，已是德國CCO廠吉他電子後搖滾的代表，2006年的第三張專輯「We Think As Instruments」，樂器表現更為多樣化，彷彿展開世界旅程，走進清晨的森林，沐浴於光線與芬多精之中。每首首子都可以找出兩條軸線，一是IDM電子旋律及節奏，水氣蒸騰般脆弱而精巧，如空氣懸浮粒子牽起之光影絲線，二是原音樂器的鼓與吉他，時而悠閒漫步，時而急切前行，例如"As Far As Forever Goes"吉他飆起之時，已是Mogwai的酣暢狂醉。 聆聽重心可放置在電子與吉他兩者之間的對話。by galeer (繼續閱讀)
