Trash, Rubbish, poor Works	CD	Neus-318 NEUCD-002	collection of unpublished works 2004-2006 from this Japanese composer, creating unusual (very experimental) ZEN drone noise, using many field recordings & electronic processing, often thematically focused on buddhist philosophy & religion; to discover !	2009	€12.00
Hosshin No Kizashi [Experimental Music of Japan Vol. 5]	CD	Edition Omega Point OPX 005CD	most ambitious album of this long-time active composer from Osaka, Japan, oscillating between electro-underground & a "serious" composition approach => 5 excellent "acousmatic" pieces, using concrete sounds as well as purely abstract & amorph drones ... art-cover, lim. 500, 5fth in the series "Experimental Music of Japan" by the well known OMEGA POINT label (known for many YOSHI WADA & JOHN CAGE releases) / BACK IN STOCK!	2010	€17.50
Cleaner 583	CD	Slow Down Records SDRSW06	this interesting Japanese composer (formely active as DARUIN and BILLY?) has refined his style: slowly moving and inherently swirling ambient-scapes that also use undefinable abstract soundsources (probably from field recordings), there's always a certain unrealness involved in these mainly quiet expanses, higher resonances and smooth sub bass drones....after "tuning in" into these atmospheres a very rewarding experience... to discover !	2016	€13.00
[A-Z-B-MEN]	CD	Kyou Records KYOU-013	the following album to the great "Canceller X" is more dominated by hypnotic loops, and has much longer movements (3 long tracks), pervaded sometimes with high frequency electro whirrs and other circling sounds, often on the threshold to overdrive and creating strange angled frequency textures... especially when listened loud this has an iridescent effect... 3 tracks, 71+ minutes, this Japanese composer is still very much to discover !	2017	€13.00
Canceller X	CD	Kyou Records KYOU-001	excellent ISHIGAMI release on a new Japanese label: electro-magnetic charged drones are overwhelmed by metallic shimmering reflections and other unidentifiable, more concrete phaser-noises, breaks can be sharp but the development of tracks occurs in dreamlike slow-motion, eerie and unreal... thematically based around different kinds of "memories", and their cancellation, 14 tracks 69+ minutes, comes with fold-out text inlay (on Japanese) and 4 photo-inlays; highly recommended !!	2017	€13.00
Archive Deleter	CD-R	Psoma Psi Phi	"a three-part album of isolationist drone and formless void. Metallic tones with a reflective surface unspool glacially from an unreachable horizon. In one moment it feels meditative, and in the next, filled with a cosmic dread. Digging deeper, one could relate some of the sounds to distant machinery, piping off steam through bulbous steel veins, boring through alien black stone in an irradiated quarry, on some forsaken outer planetoid" - excellent amorph drone works, on US label (IMPORT), micro edition of only 36 copies !!	2019	€13.00
