"Masters of inner space rock meet long breathed king of eruptive silence. Kosokuya are one of Japan's most mysterious psychedelic rock groups with an obscure history dating back to the late 70s. A previous self-released LP in an edition of 400 copies set rumours flying, but very few actually ever got to hear it. That situation was remedied by a live CD on FE which showcased their mesmerizing brand of heavy, weirdly-timed psych rock. Since that release the band have had all kinds of personnel problems including the departure of long-suffering vocalist/bassist Mik and percussionist Takahashi... Masayohsi Urabe is the staggering young altoist who had his debut LP released on PSF last year (PSF 81). His music deconstructs all boundaries between sound silence with a magnificent hoarse tone -- uncategorizable individual music. This CD was recorded at one of the first gigs played late last year by Kosokuya's new line-up. Outstanding work, not necessarily reminiscent of anything other than itself. Great sensitive + heavy playing, lovely vocal action from Kaneko and Urbabe's unique atmospherics."
