Masami Akita “approaches this record with a sound collage mindset and … brings … a ton of variation …[to] his own solo track…: silly, out-of-context, short loops of pop songs…, malformed rock tunes, [and] sudden trashy noise outbursts all over the place.” The collaborative track with Watermann “starts as a slightly more subdued and ambient piece [and] soon turns into a reckless opus of cut-up noise with so much going on and so fast that even I can’t properly keep up…. Watermann’s own [solo] track drops the noise walls and furthers the sound collage insanity into its absolute limits — covering nearly as much ground as the previous track in less than half the duration. Simply mesmerizing, pure ADHD brain music.” From 1996. Sealed

“A filthy dirt-mess of an album from 2008, six stories of mind-fucking depravity, with fucked up, histrionic and downright bizarre vocals. Moral decay, beyond perverse, sexual transgression.” Cover painting by Kevin Tomkins.

Kevin Thorne’s post-Third Door From The Left debut, recorded using the built-in microphone on a dual cassette recorder, with the next layer recorded with playback of the first tape.

Disc one contains tracks from the Nanavesh edition of the cassette released in 1983, and disc two has the original cassette plus bonus tracks recorded 1981-1983. With Genesis P-Orridge and Iham on Tibetan thigh-bone trumpet.
