been a while, sorry.

This little number comes to us from the fertile ground that was Japan, 1970. This is a blistering collaboration featuring free jazz sax exrremist, Kaoru Abe and is absolutely mind melting.
Whenever these two are on the same record together they create a whirlwind of noise that's almost hard to handle but those who do come away with a new appreciation for this style of music. This is an incredible document of the power these two (especially Kaoru) can create.

I myself am not a huge fan of Free Jazz and have long considered it a sort of lackadaisical farce of a genre. Being a fan of Noise though, with all of its inherent dissonance and lack of structure, I could never really justify my distate other than simply not liking it. Becoming a fan of early Japanese artists has started to shift my mindset though. Artists like Kazuki Tomokawa, Kan Mikama, Jun Togawa and Otomo Yoshihide have started to expose me to the seedy underbelly of the Jazz scene and its heroes. These are two of my newfound luminaries.

This might be a rough testbed for both of these artists but if you can appreciate it, you will definitely love everything else they've achieved together. Enjoy.

I can't say enough good things about her.
Soft and soulful, her music is beauty, packaged and pressed into a musical format. Soft pillowy vocals lay gently atop the faintest hints of a guitar track. So soft that anything above a whisper runs the risk of drowning out the music.
Her music forces you to pay attention because if your mind wanders for just a moment you miss something truly beautiful. Wonderful stuff from a gifted and criminally underrated artist.

This is an Audio rip of her live DVD from Archive.

Guest stars include Michio Kurihara from Ghost and Wata from Boris

The latest record by this wonderful acid folk guitarist.
It's records like these that make me hate the language barrier but also make me realise that music is such a powerful language in itself.
His voice just rolls over itself in such a way that you can't help but get caught in the undertow.
Beautiful stuff and recommended as always

Before the Akira soundtrack made them a household name in every weeaboo's parent's basement, they were busy teaching themselves how to program so they could introduce a new element to their ensemble.

This is their first album, circa 76. Haunting, excitable, mesmerizing: words can't describe the feeling you get from this record. The second track is my favourite, mostly for the female vocals that pervade the track and the wonderful harmonies that the group can conjure up. This album is absolutely incredible.

An absolute must for fans of world music, traditional japanese in particular.

When Aaron Dilloway went to Nepal a couple years back he made some field recordings as well as recorded a couple performances from a traveling band of Snake Charmers.
While the field recordings are great, the snake charmer stuff is wicked awesome.

Highly recommended. This archive includes both volumes of the set.

Almost 20 years now and I'm still just as huge a fan as I was when I first saw them on MTV

This is the Steve Albini mix of In Utero, presented in delicious flac. This mix is really what should have been released mainstream but, understandably, it was too rough and gritty to be able to travel the radio waves so they flattened it and made it tinny and weak and that's what they sold at walmart with a censored cover.

Anywhoo this is the real raw deal and it makes the album way better. Get into it
