Fumio Kosakai - The Warm Garden 2xLP
$44.98
Label: Amok Age
Limited edition of 300 copies.
A pivotal force in the foundations of Noise music in Japan, Fumio Kosakai is half of The Incapacitants, and has recorded with other acts such as Hijokaidan, CCCC, and Club Skull. Originally released on cassette in an edition of fifty copies in 1993, The Warm Garden is a pinnacle for collectors of 90s noise and the outer realms of Japanese psychedelia.
The work steps away from the denshi zatsuon (electronic noise) of his other groups and instead comprises two pieces of minimal electronics, percussion, and treated violin. The result is engrossing, hypnotic gothic psychedelia and scorched earth cosmic sound. The cassette source was carefully remastered by Alex Nagle in consultation with Fumio Kosakai himself.
