Bleak Bliss: NP vs. Thirdorgan

If full-bore late-1990's Japanese noise is what you're after, here you go. Full-on sugar-rush blast by NP (Fumiyoshi Suzuki, ex-Zeni Geva and The Gerogerigegege) on one side and noise hero Thirdorgan (Akihiro Shimuzu) on the other. The tape came out in 1998 in a nifty metal package with a painted green band across it, a numbered edition of 100 copies on Thirdorgan's own eponymous label.

There's a suggestion printed in the liner notes for NP's side: "This track is designed for wide-range speakers. You may consciously listen to those bass sounds." That's right, noise fan: do not put this tape on after you've gone to sleep. Unconscious listening will make the bass sound like crap.

Don't know these two, but you can't have enough Japanese noise can you?! Thanks for this!
