Minotaure - 98/3/21


From way back in 1998, firmly within the era when CDRs were still the pariah of noise self-publishing, this album was very first release on Pale-Disc. This raw scrape/squelch was created by the duo of Kiyoharu Kuwayama and Okazaki Toyohiro on guitar, metal, cymbals, and the ubiquitous "electronics". It owes a debt to the cracked improvisation of Voice Crack, Gert-Jan Prins, that sort of thing, but the unpolished/volatile atmosphere links it to sub-underground noise as well.

Caligari:
usually not my kind of noise
but damn,
that's pretty evocative
and inspiring!
