Some words on this issue: HIJOKAIDAN: “Viva Angel” (Alchemy Records – ARLP-004) “Viva Angel was the 2nd Hijokaidan album, released in 1984, and for many years has been the most difficult to locate. Stylistically this album is the group’s most diffuse album. The performance artists that made early Hijokaidan live shows such a spectacle had begun to drift away and the album’s 7 studio tracks capture a stripped down trio version of the group. (…) Far more unexpected (as opposed to the sidelong track “Bad Character But Great Sounds”) are the shorter and sparser tracks that make up the 1st side. “Seeds Rock N Roll” places a lunatic rant from late Auschwitz vocalist Hayashi Naoto over a fast drum machine rhythm. “Secret Desire” sounds like Evan Parker soprano ultrasonics over tapes of a bicycle wheel rotating in a distant typhoon while the title track is just is a heads-down guitar and drum jam that Neu! Would have been proud to call their own. It’s aged remarkably well” (Alan Cummings) Here Hijokaidan aptly demonstrate that they are the kings of noise with their abrasive rich tonal textured slabs of sonic inquisitional hotwired circuits geared up to the max. 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.
