HIJOKAIDAN

KING OF NOISE LP

Alchemy Records 12

Limited Edition: 400 copies

Limited edition mid-80's japanese original from japanese formation / performance group Hijokaidan.

Some info on the release: Extremely hard to find original japanese original from the mid-80's from legendary japanese noise-makers Hijokaidan. This one was released on the Alchemy Records labels (also home of Masonna, Merzbow, Nihilist Spasm Band, Smegma, Aube, Solmania, Borbetomagus, Monde Bruits, Che-Shizu, Space Machine, Hanatarash, etc.). This was Hijokaidan's third album, limited to an edition of 400 copies only.

Hijokaidan (????, lit. "emergency stairway") is a Japanese noise and free improvisation group with a revolving lineup that has ranged from two members to as many as fourteen in its early days. The group is the project of guitarist Yoshiyuki "Jojo" Hiroshige (Japanese; ????, JOJO??) its one constant member, who is head & owner of the Osaka-based Alchemy Records. Other regulars include Jojo's wife Junko and Toshiji Mikawa (also of incapacitants). The group began at the very end of the 1970s as a performance-art based group whose anarchic shows would often involve destruction of venues and audio equipment, food and garbage being thrown around, and on-stage urination. As the group's lineup changed over time, their focus became less performance-based and more musically based, fine-tuning their sound into a dense wall of white noise created by each member making as much of a racket as humanly possible. Belongs to the japnoise tradition of Gerogerigegege, MSBR, C.C.C.C., Pain Jerk, White Hospital, Keiji Haino, etc.

Condition: Cover lies in excellent condition, with minimal wear, while vinyl looks clean and shiny, seems unplayed, thus in mint condition.
