Some words on this issue: HIJOKAIDAN: “Tapes” (Alchemy Records – ARLP-012) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint). Compiled out of rare tracks ranging from the early days of 1979 up until 1986, Hijokaidan aptly demonstrate that they are the kings of noise with their abrasive and rich tonal textured slabs of sonic inquisitional hotwired circuits geared up to the max. This disc collects the early and best period of Hijokaidan and although the band went even then through various line-ups, all the names of the participants to pass the footlights is just mouth watering, ranging from Jojo Hiroshige to Zushi, Mikawa, the goddess like queen of urination Semimaru, sax howler Kami, Boredoms Yamatsuka Eye and others. When the first salvo erupts from your speakers you know already that they will leave any present day wanna-be noiz-nick gasping for air, sucking the living daylights out of those snot-nosed pimple faced bedroom/ballroom anarchists. Hijokaidan were the real deal and travels into the same space-way realms as LAFMS’ Airway collective. Hedonistic electronic tape abuse, layered and fuzzed-out swirl of dilated sonic gestures, spin-off speedway feedback, feral holocaust analogue torture and musique concrete collages can be considered as key words here. A real blood-churning racket. I guess your roommates will not be prepared to sit through this glorious hedonistic radioactive leftover of the Hiroshima blast, disguised in the form of designer flypaper being bombarded by killer Amazonian bees. In a way the whole creates a trance like looped soundtrack emphasizing this continuous restart of in- and description, passing and crossing, measuring and appropriating the dimensions of extreme brutality that guide this performance towards a foggy wonder world of a meat grinding whirlpool-like climax. The octane high from the radiation fall-out embedded within the disc’s grooves obliterates all who get exposed to it.
