Classy reissue of one of the toughest Japanese underground LPs to score, the blistering debut album from Rinji Fukuoka's Overhang Party. Originally privately released in an edition of only 200 copies in 1993, this album blew a whole bunch of minds when it first turned up overseas but remains little known outside of a cadre of collectors. The sound is a little more 'out' than the later Overhang Party albums, combining crude leviathans of guitar and drums with avant sonics and free-form electricity in a way that works as the perfect marriage between pummelling Western destructo rock and psychedelic Japanese extremity. The first side alone touches upon a bunch of mutually-explosive bases, with weird low level improvisations that cross Bailey-esque stabs and fractured percussion with Fukuoka's reverb-deep wordless vocals giving way to a psych/noise stand-off that features wild free jazz drums orbiting an endless void of acid guitar F/X confusion before flipping into a classic Haino/Miura-esque death-decadent ballad complete with searing post-SRC lead guitar. The second side is a classic slice of PSF-styled modern rock and is the perfect reflection of the apex of the Japanese underground sound circa 1989-1994 when alla the major first generation sides were cut: first two Fushitsusha doubles, High Rise 2, first two Ghost albums, White Heaven Out, Kousokuya's 1st et al. The line-up features Rinji on guitar and vocals, Iwao Yamazaki on drums, Kouji Nishino on bass and 'Kunukunu' on VCS3 synth. A major Japanese psych side and a necessary addition to any collection of key Tokyo underground artefacts. Psyched to see this back in print. Exact repro sleeve in an edition of 500 copies. Highly recommended.
