More Info

Wiederveröffentlichung von 5 Tapes aus den 80ern vom PARIAH–Label von den kultigen japanischen harsh-noise-Pionieren, 2 davon wurden zwar produziert, aber nicht verkauft und sind somit zum ersten Mal erhältlich!

“Huge influence for whole international noise scene. Freak Animal had opportunity to continue work with Incapacitants with new release (previous one, split 10" with Junkdrome came out 10 years ago) and it is no less than box of 5 full length CD's ! This is A MUST have collection of all the oldest Incapacitants tapes released on Mikawa's own Pariah tapes label. 2 first tapes have NEVER been sold in public, and 3 other tapes (pallo triple tape) was manufactured less than 100. While most of Japanese artists in early 80's were doing free-improv. or sound collages, listen to sound of Incapacitants who since 1981 has delivered such harsh noise walls, they are hard to match even today ! Includes replication of all original artwork as well as linernotes from Mikawa himself.” [label info]

“Incapacitants began in 1981 as Toshiji Mikawa's solo project. The original base of activity was Osaka, where Mikawa collaborated with Yamatsuka Eye and others. Later, after the move to Tokyo, Fumio Kosakai became a member, to form the current duo. From the beginning, while the attempt to achieve pure NOISE has been the most important aspect of their sound, they have also been famous for their stage performances, which are so wild they may remind people of pro wrestling matches. This aggressive, energetic style and the beauty of their NOISE are unrivaled. Along with Hijo Kaidan, Merzbow, C.C.C.C., and Solmania, Incapacitants is one of the most well known of the NOSIE bands which started out in the early '80s.” [discogs.com]
