Review

Rolling Stone (11/30/95, p.67) - 3.5 Stars - Good - "...Based on the corrosive vigor of his guitar playing and IMA's strong minimalistic rumble, Sean Lennon is the most sympathetic collaborator Ono has had since his father was killed..."
Spin (12/95, p.86) - 8 - Very Good - "...Yoko Ono turns...noises into terrible, beautiful music....Riddled with infant cries and ancient death rattles, RISING lives within holocausts...that American culture chooses to ignore....she isn't an art-rocker, she's an artist who makes rock, and she hasn't softened with age."
Entertainment Weekly (12/15/95, p.72) - "...Ono returns with a bracingly fresh set of songs and sounds....Alterna-rock meets performance art and elegant venting." - Rating: A-
Q (3/96, p.101) - 3 Stars - Good - "...a slice of ninja noise that Nine Inch Nails would be proud of..."
Melody Maker (1/27/96, p.34) - Recommended - "...Yoko sounds quivering, melodic, mellow or sweet as can be, but it's when she goes to extremes that things get really interesting. The lengthy `Kurushi,' one of the two epic highlights, is a hair-raising exercise in open-heart surgery..."
NME (Magazine) (1/27/96, p.42) - 7 (out of 10) - "...marvellous....`Wouldnit' is slick, Noo Yawk funk, a mature nod to Tom Tom Club...and `Where Do We Go From Here' is...atmospheric...a ghostly waltz. And from here things get odder..."

Title Note

Yoko Ono/Ima: Yoko Ono (vocals); Sean Ono Lennon (acoustic & electric guitars, keyboards, bass, background vocals); Timo Ellis (bass, acoustic & electric guitars, drums); Sam Koppelman (drums, bass, percussion).

Engineers: Rob Stevens, Timo Ellis.

Recorded at Quad Recording and Broome Street, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Yoko Ono.

For her first album in several years, Yoko Ono was joined by her son Sean Ono Lennon's trio Ima (Japanese for "now"), a trio adept at both abstract, improvisational free jazz and Sonic Youth-style noise rock. Both of these musical extremes can be found on RISING, a harrowing, autobiographical song cycle written to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At the time of the bombings, Ono--who grew up in Tokyo--was hiding in the Japanese countryside. Given her most sympathetic backing since the early-'70s Plastic Ono Band records, Ono delivers her most heartfelt and experimental work in over 20 years. Highlights include the stunning 15-minute title track, where Lennon, Timo Ellis, and Sam Koppelman whip up an Ornette Coleman-like frenzy as Ono delivers some extremely powerful lyrics. The similarly passionate "Kurushi" is almost equally chilling. Rising is an intense, challenging work.
