Nijiumu - Era Of Sad Wings

Nijiumu were Asahito Nanjo, Keiji Haino, Shizuo Uchida and Tetuzi Akiyama. If you don't count the live set on the Driftworks release, I'm pretty sure that this was their only official release and that Asahito had left by this point. Regardless, this is a truly cavernous and atmospheric work of wonder!

Released on P.S.F. Records in 1993.

Whilst I'm here, in case you weren't around at the time, I've re-upped both of the La Musica CDrs, the Driftworks box-set and (for good measure) the two Aihiyo releases.

Silvum - Oceans

Somber and static tape loops and drones by the sadly-obscure and under-rated Nick Henry/Silvum. In the years he was active, Silvum was quite prolific, releasing several albums per year from 2005 through 2008, then his production slowed and he seems to be inactive today (though I could be mistaken about that). "Oceans" was one of the earliest albums, but his style pretty much started out fully formed. Released as a CDR in a numbered edition of 40 copies by the artist's own label Raoul's Left Ear in 2005.
