★MELTONE : Their contagious high-energy jam-rock was such a great fit and big hit with High Sierra fans that we invited them back this year. Clearly the love is mutual, as guitarist Shin-ichiro Tomita says: "At High Sierra the audience really cut loose... it was the audience that lifted us up and pushed us to a higher level. "Playing mainly psychedelic instrumentals, with the occasional crossing into a more trance-like electronic sound, Meltone is led by the interactive musical dialog between the sustained, flighty guitar solos of Tomita and keyboardist Keisuke Ishizawa.
