AU-9009 9th Recording Contest from Audio Union. Compilation of DIY recordings from found sound cutups to synth sessions. Pretty perplexing album to digest without knowing Japanese, but it’s a pretty expansive and rewarding lp. From the translated liner notes-This is the culmination of the world of recording. Some are made with the most advanced technology, some are pure and honest, and some are recorded from the other side of the world. Each is a wonderful work. They are not without flaws. The sense that professionals do not have is that of amateurs. I cut all of the works, but for the sake of streamlining, I tried to narrow down the points and record them. When you listen to this record, you will join the ranks of maniacs. The creative world is there.

For Sale: This 1984 compilation unveils the vibrant underground soundscape of Kansai, highlighting two of its most boundary-pushing labels: Kyoto’s Zero Records and Hyogo’s Kageroh Records. Each label selects a diverse mix of artists, inviting listeners on an exhilarating, genre-defying journey. On the A-side, Kageroh Records features He Was’s えいのやうに, a track that weaves an otherworldly tapestry of faux-ethnographic rhythms. It also includes two standout tracks from the New Wave outfit Neo Museum, and Viola Renea’s リーディア教徒, a mind-bending, psychedelic folk ballad. The B-side, curated by Zero Records, opens with the captivatingオウムのポリネシア, where an accordion swirls in harmony with Kimiko Suyama’s haunting vocals. Ché-SHIZU contributes an experimental free folk track that feels suspended outside of time.

Woman at 23 Hour - Love In is Kiyoko Itoh’s impossibly rare 1971 album, and it’s hands down one of the best, yet most slept-on, female vocal records to ever come out of Japan. Her hauntingly beautiful love ballads bring to life the feeling of a buzzing, cosmopolitan Tokyo, blending in experimental spoken word and field recordings of city sounds. Kuni Kawachi from the Happenings Four and J.A. Seazer (the guy who did music for Shuji Terayama) add a mesmerizing, psychedelic aura to the whole thing. Plus, Itoh writes a number of the tracks herself, which makes this album even more personal and captivating.(thx Canterel) Sleeve is pretty perfect minus the obi. Record plays nicely with some light crackle. Will go online after a couple days on the wall.
