Guillotine Kyodai - Viva Guitar




This is mental. Even by our standards. This is MENTAL!

You get the Morricone spaghetti western intro and then the rest of the tracks are the Guillotine cats in one channel chopping up bugles, Adam And The Ants and christ alone knows what else and then they pass the baton to a series of Japanese superheros playing guitar in alternate channels ... and at the end everything is mixed into a single track.

MENTAL!

Guillotine Kyodai featuring Hirose Junji - Meetings With Remarkable Men




Guillotine Kyodai are Guillotine Tiger and Guillotine Jaguar who are better known to their mothers as Hideaki Sasaki and Yuji Katsui.

During a failed attempt to meet remarkable women, they settled upon meeting the likes of Otomo Yoshihide, Seiichi Yamamoto, Ruins, Junji Hirose and Yoshinori Motoki instead. So, there's an excursion past your bedroom door salvaged then.

CD released on Tag Rag in 2000.

Various - Eat Shit Noise Music






In 1989, RRRon put out a cheeky "unofficial" tape that took tracks from a host of Japanese tape compilations. He did a pretty good job: Hanatarash, Boredoms, White Hospital, The Gerogerigegege, Ruins, Grim and Dissecting Table.

Boredoms - Boretronix




The Noizunzuri posts took me back to the Boretronix tapes. There are parts of the first tape where you can hear remnants of Mitsuru Tabata's previous band but you quickly come to terms with the reality that he has climbed on board Yamatsuka Tetsurō's post-Hanatarash armour-plated chaos engine.

Maybe one or two of you don't have these already ...

C50 released on Eye's ? Records in 1988.

Kaoru Abe - 未発表音源+初期音源




You really should have expected that this was next.

The label is generally fantastic but unfortunately seems to attract speculators so prices very quickly spiral well beyond the depths of the pockets of most people.

Kaoru Abe - CD Box 1970-1973




If you don't know him then there is nothing that I can say to prepare you.

All human emotion and/or the real sound of Dante’s Nine Circles of Hell channeled through a saxophone except it's so much better than that.

Seven CD set released on Youth Inc. in 2012.

01 Abe Kaoru Trio - 1970.3.15

02 Abe Kaoru & Hiroshi Yamazaki Duo - 1971.1.24

T. Kamada, A. Koshi, T. Nakamura - Home Made Music 1981/4

On this 1981 cassette, Kamada is joined by two other mysterious artists called A. Koshi (I have not been able to even determine his full name) and Teruo Nakamura... who, amazingly, seems to still be (a little bit) active! Yes, he has a band called Lake of Madder and there's even a Bandcamp page.
