生きている価値なし～The Very Best Of Jojo Hiroshige

A 2015 meeting between Hijokaidan and Nasca Car, the Osaka electronic project of Nakaya Koichi. Two studio tracks and two live sets across more than forty minutes, the King of Noise's wall of sound crossed with Nasca Car's pulsing acid-house and new-wave electronics. On Alchemy.

Jojo Hiroshige

Jojo Hiroshige - known and feared throughout the world not only as a member of the legendary ‘‘Hijokaidan,’’ often referred as ‘‘King of Noise,’’ but also as the owner of the prestigious label “Alchemy Records,” which has released countless “Japanoise” masterpieces. "Words are different to sounds in that the images they create are limited. They’re like a two-edged sword – sometimes they can be used effectively, but sometimes they restrict the range of the images employed. When I was young I read…

Abe Kaii

Live! Destroy Noise Symphony

A 1982 cassette by Abe Kaii, the duo of Jojo Hiroshige and Toshiji Mikawa, named in sly homage to free jazz saxophonist Kaoru Abe. A monolith of free jazz and psychedelic space rock from two future architects of Japanese noise, near impossible to hear for decades, reissued on Alchemy in 2017.

Hijokaidan

A 2018 live document from Hijokaidan in their definitive musical form: Jojo Hiroshige on guitar, Junko's voice, Toshiji Mikawa on electronics and Futoshi Okano on drums, fusing into a single dense wall of sound. The King of Noise captured live and unrepentant. On Alchemy.

Incapacitants

Zouvneree

While No Blossoms Likely Will Be Left, There Will Be Entertainment

Harsh noise at full saturation from Incapacitants, the duo of Toshiji Mikawa (Hijokaidan) and Fumio Kosakai. No melody, no rhythm, no let-up, only a dense and strangely psychedelic block of electronics pushed toward ecstatic overload. One of the defining names in Japanese noise, on Alchemy.

Concealed Class

No Obituary

Helicopter, Troniks

On No Obituary, Concealed Class - the duo of Charlie Mumma and Matt Purse - reduce harsh sound to its barest, most hostile state: absolute electronics where saturation, feedback and structural collapse are the only remaining facts.

Trepaneringsritualen

Perfection & Permanence

Cold Spring

Trepaneringsritualen explores themes of religion, magick and the hidden realms of consciousness, taking its musical cues from the old school of ritual ambient & death industrial. Rhythmic and seething at times, and oozing forward with a creeping sense of desolation at others, Trepaneringsritualen conjures forth bleak but mesmerizing visions of the end-times. "Perfection & Permanence": a hymn to Isis; a further exploration of the duality of the holy harlot, the black skinned Magdalen, mother and …

C.C.C.C.

Love & Noise

Abandon Ship Records

Reemerging three decades on, C.C.C.C.’s Love & Noise hits vinyl for the first time, a still‑devastating artefact where Mayuko Hino’s charged electronics and Hiroshi Hasegawa’s Moog storms turn harsh sonics into something crushing, psychedelic and strangely exultant.
