Madam Anonimo 7″ Heureux Temps – Qualia records
Birthplace and age unknown. She was active as a diva in underground theater companies from the time of the university protests until the early 70s. The mysterious diva “Madame Anonimo” was friends with Abe Kaoru and others. Her debut album “il salone di Anonimo” released by φonon in 2019 was greeted with shock and praise from a wide range of dance, avant-garde, and jazz listeners. Four years later, she has not been active outside of her appearance at Dommune, but she is finally releasing a new song. In preparation for this release, the song was thoroughly polished, but it should be noted that the recording was done in one take & produced Jun Morita .
Nice cover by Takehiko Nakafuji

Haiginsha cs Fierce / Lighten – VLZ Produkt
The late Hironari Iwata, best known for his experimental work with “Toukaseibunshi”, explored even more uncharted territory under the alias “HAIGINSHA”. This long-lost cassette from 1986 has been resurrected with a meticulous remaster, sourced from one of the few remaining original tapes, courtesy of noise pioneer Toshiji Mikawa.
The album weaves a striking tapestry of guitar, melodica, recorder, voice and industrial percussion, each element bending and colliding in unpredictable ways. What ties it all together is an unrelenting current of howling feedback that swells across every track—a sonic metaphor for Iwata’s struggles with despair and existential disillusionment. Yet, within the chaos lies an unmistakable flicker of hope, an unwavering belief in the power of sound and expression.
Iwata’s unconventional approach turns familiar instruments into tools for exploration, chasing glimpses of harmony within the squall of feedback. It’s a process uniquely his own—rooted in his profound understanding of the miracle of encountering “music” within the real world. This album feels less like a collection of tracks and more like a travelogue from his ongoing journey to uncover new possibilities for sound, pushing the boundaries of what music can be.

Bunsuirei CDR 2024.10.13 – Tall Grass
With liner notes, artwork by Yonju Miyaoka. each design on the disc are different hand-written.
“This live is the first time to feature Sayaka Tenjin (from Sayozoku) on drums. She said she never thought to play in a normal or conventional way. This is not to mean she plays unreasonably, but rather that she clearly has her own rhythms.
I think it should be recorded and released properly in the future.
Sakurai-kun and Morio-kun were playing well as usual, meanwhile I was hitting the cymbal with the head of my guitar, adding some BGM to Sakurai-kun’s stage banter. Suddenly, I shouted with in some strange voices.
At last, I played the piano, but I failed and ended up making odd noises.
The works that I have produced from before to now have always had some regrettable failures or embarrassing moments, and I cannot present them to you with any real confidence.
The future of the world is uncertain with possible disasters and wars, but I hope to somehow survive them, create many satisfactory works, and live a long life. ————Nov.13th, 2024 Yonju Miyaoka”

Les Rallizes Denudés 2LP YaneUra Oct.’80 Tuff Beats
In 1980, Les Rallizes Dénudés welcomed guitarist Fujio Yamaguchi (The Dynamites, Murahachibu, Teardrops) to its fold. The unconventional pairing of inimitable Rallizes frontman Mizutani with Fujio’s unrestrained, this unique arrangement lasted just a little less than a year, but the lineup would leave behind a longlasting impact among Rallizes fans that can still be felt to this day.
Among the seven gigs played by the Fujio-era lineup, one particular show stood out from the rest. YaneUra Oct. ‘80 contains the blistering gig that took place on October 29, 1980 at the original Yaneura live house in Shibuya, Tokyo. This night, one of a series of gigs played at Yaneura by this lineup, has always been considered one of the certifiably classic gigs among the live tapes that circulated among Rallizes aficionados. Mixed and mastered from the best available sources by Rallizes member Makoto Kubota, YaneUra Oct. ‘80 is the long-awaited, first-ever official release of this performance.
Built upon the tight rhythm section of bassist Doronco (Kiyohiro Takada) and drummer Kodo Noma, the violent interplay between the twin guitars of Mizutani and Fujio was known to have generated a jet-black aura that would permeate the air during each performance. The intense, 30-minute-plus medley of “I’m the Darkness” leading into “Flame of Ice” in particular can be considered one of the defining performances of the Rallizes entire career.

Gran Guignol CD “Gran Guignol” + CD ” Live 1981″ + 18 x 18 cm booklet 34 pages
Grand Guignol performed avant-garde performances in a white-faced style reminiscent of dark dance. Based in Fussa, they performed at many live houses, including the legendary live house “Kichijoji Minor,” and were supported by music fans at the time as an artistic band that not only included their music but also their equipment, lighting, flyers, and fashion. However, despite their growing fame, they disbanded in 1981, much to the regret of many.
Grand Guignol’s only LP was recorded in 1981, towards the end of their career, and released by the legendary Pinakotheca label in 1982.
Second CD is the live recording held at Shibuya “Yaneura” on February 13, 1981, just before the band broke up. When they first formed, they repeatedly performed shocking performances with white make-up, but as they performed more than 50 times in total, their taste gradually changed to a pop line. This recording is from their final stage when they were at their most pop, and the finish is a powerful expansion of the characteristics of their only album. It also includes songs that were popular at the live shows at the time but were never recorded in the studio.

ROLF GEHLHAAR LP “Wege / Ways” – Metaphon
Rolf Gehlhaar (1943-2019) was an instrumental and electronic music composer, and a pioneer in computer controlled interactive music. He grew up in the US where he studied philosophy and composition at Yale University. In 1967 he moved back to Germany to become Stockhausen’s personal assistant and member of his performing ensemble. In 1969 Gehlhaar co-founded, along with Johannes Fritsch (Metaphon 012) and David Johnson, the Feedback Studios in Cologne, a new-music performance center and publishing house. He later moved to England, where he became in 1979 a founding member of the Electro-Acoustic Music Association and later on senior lecturer in design and digital media. Gehlhaar’s compositions include symphonies, instrumental works, experimental and electronic music, interactive computer controlled music and everything in between.
The three previously unreleased tracks on this LP only show a glimpse of the versatility of his adventurous and innovative musical ideas.
The LP comes with a foldout insert including photos and extensive program notes.

TIMO VAN LUIJK – KRIS VANDERSTRAETEN – DANIEL DUCHAMP – LUIS FERIN LP Traces du hasard – La scie Dorée
This album is a bit of an accumulation of coincidences. It is the first recording session I did with Kris Vanderstraeten, back in 1994, together with Daniel Duchamp and Luis Ferin. The session recording had since disappeared from attention and 30 years later, while going through old DAT tape archives, I came across it by chance, initially even not knowing who/what it was… The tape started with a recording of cars, captured from my balcony in Brussels, where I lived at the time. I decided to integrate the cars as an intro to the music session that fitted in seamlessly. Both the recording quality and the musical performance were remarkably good. A lost and found little treasure. It was a refreshing time for me, playing with people from a jazz and free improvisation background. We became good friends;
