Aube / Katsumi / Kosakai / Monde Bruits
(Japan Overseas) CD $20.00 (Out-of-stock)
From the late 1990s, when some Japanese noisemakers were taking a turn at ambience. This untitled comp sprawls toward the deeply droning side of the kosmische found on early Cluster and Klaus Schulze records.

Mectpyo Saisei
(Para Disc) Used CD $20.00
“A magnetotherapeutic leakage bridled in the impartial passivity of our univocal meditations, the second haemodialysis generated by Maurizio Bianchi and Akifumi Nakajima announces the new era of untamed audio-inflammation. Both operators have sharpened their pathologist scalpels to intoxicate the aural hemisphere with rhizospheric microorganisms and mononuclear blood-cells. Inside the parasite plasmodium of Mectpyo Saisei the clinical rhythm-impulses by Aube and septic piano-fragments by MB form the intransigent symbiosis. From ‘Carnal Deterioration’ in its complete neuropsychological disorder to ‘Metamorphic Humus,’ fermented and putrefied by pathogenic slag, we enter the cirrhotic carnage-lava of ‘M.Blut.’ The final genesis of necrobiotic industriousness.” From 2005
Organized

RLW used recordings of an electronic organ and a ringing bell both played by Akifumi Nakajima. Aube used recordings of a church organ made by Ralf Wehowsky. Red vinyl from the mid-’90s. Edition of 300
Pulse Resonator
(Praxis Dr. Bearmann) Used LP + 7-inch $35.00
Coherent VCO recordings from 1995. “Highly electric and often piercing sound,” says Freak Animal, “but not very ripping like loudest of the noise. More ‘artistic’ with perfection on capturing the sonic qualities.” Red twelve-inch vinyl. Clear seven-inch vinyl. With obi. Numbered edition of 275.
Sensorial Inducement
(Alien8) Used LP $15.00 (Out-of-stock)
Akifumi Nakajima uses one monophonic analog synthesizer, a Roland SH-2, which allows hints of very abstract techno, but is at times most prominently reminiscent of Alien Bog-era Oliveros or David Kristian’s Cricklewood.
