HIGH RISE
Title:
Disallow
Label:
PSF (JAPAN)
Format:
CD
Price:
$18.00
Catalog #:
PSF 078CD
Fourth High Rise CD (fifth album overall) and first studio production in quite some time. Utterly massive trio psychedelic heavy rock. With new (and amazing) drummer Pill, the guitar/bass duo of Nanjo & Narita blast the spheres like nobody else, in a seemingly more complex manner, but just as pure in their pursuit of the deeply submerged.

Reissue of the 2nd High Rise LP, with 2 bonus tracks. Ultimate all-in-the-red distortion-psych monster. Blew away the few who heard it on first release in the mid '80s and continues to convert people along the way. Original Japanese CD edition, US edition on Squealer seems to be defunct...

"Long awaited sixth album for PSF (following the epics
II
,
Dispersion
,
Live
, and
Disallow
) by this time-honored post-motor-city rave up clan, featuring Nanjo Asahito on bass/vox, Munehiro Narita on 'motor-cycle-guitar'? and Shoji Hano on drums. Phrases like 'in the red' or 'amped-up' don't even begin to relate present levels of near-fatal voltage abuse. Contains some off-kilter exploratory cuts that don't veer to far from paths cut by sister ensemble Musica Transonic, which I suppose could be determined as a 'new direction'. Still, a ridiculous display of caffeine/sugar energy converted into audible wavelengths by Tokyo's premiere baff-rock scuzz-manics." --Hrvatski.

Psychobomb - US Tour 2000

Price:

Catalog #:
PSF 124CD
"First live High Rise album on PSF since the still astounding peak of
Live
(PSFD-48). Seven tracks, fifty-two minutes. If there's anyone that doesn't already know, High Rise were where it all started. A group that boiled down improv, the hardest psych, the fastest punk into an injectable shot of accelerated adrenaline. The group were source of the first psychic rumbles to reach the West, indicating that something quite remarkable was happening in the Tokyo underground. Without High Rise there would have been no PSF (the acronym stands for Psychedelic Speed Freaks -- the group's early moniker and the title of their debut album), no Musica Transonic, no Mainliner... This latest release features the group live in New York and Seattle on their most recent US tour, before an adoring audience of speedfreak boneheads (maybe you'll even hear yourself hollering 'louder' or 'faster'). Surprisingly, the trademark Nanjo production aesthetic has been toned down a notch, leaving the splattered acid genius and tonal control (!) of Narita's solos the most evident they've ever been. Nanjo and ex-White Heaven drummer Koji Shimura are as poundingly heavy a rhythm section as you could wish for. But it's the guitar where it is at: there's still nothing quite like Narita kicking open the throttle and tearing into a manic solo, leaving shit-eating grins to eat dust in his wake..." -- Alan Cummings

TKCU 77105
"Unbelievably, High Rise are celebrating their twentieth anniversary this year. Strictly speaking, they started out as Psychedelic Speed Freaks, only taking the High Rise name in 1983. But, whatever -- the will to a state where uber-heaviness and uber-speed merge into one all-enveloping bliss haze has been their one shining goal for a full two decades now. Acceleration, motor-burn, and blinding forward motion encapsulated through guitar, bass and drums. What you get is twelve remastered tracks of totally thrilling, full on, heads down, speed-psych-metal mayhem taken from their classic PSF releases. The album also includes two previously unreleased tracks: a studio version of live favourite 'Ikon', and a new piece called 'Heavenly Power'. For once the superlatives are fully deserved. High Rise are the band that kick-started a label and a scene. They're the power-trio to end all power-trios." -- Alan Cummings.
