Shoji Hano - Tayhei Nipon

Solo drum album by Shoji Hano, with guests Keiji Haino (who plays guitar on two songs) and Yoshinori Yanagawa of Dislocation (who plays alto on one song). Hano is now known mainly as a free improv drummer who plays with Peter Brotzmann, Olaf Rupp, Billy Bang and other jazz heavyweights. But he was also sat in High Rise's combustible drum seat for a time, and plays in Dare Devil Band with members of Acid Mothers Temple. This album came out in 1991 as a CD on the evocatively named Package Records Corp. label.
