Catalog #:
TKCB 71869
Japanese version of the new Oval album (released in the US on Thrill Jockey), with 4 bonus tracks exclusive to this release ("Excel", "Newslo", Stueck" & "K-Sum"). "Markus Popp, a.k.a. Oval, is a mastermind of digital technology.
Ovalprocess
continues his elaborate manifesto of electronic music coupled with multimedia wizardry. This new release from Oval is a flowing, textured manuscript that utilizes sublime low end rhythm and directive pulsation in a manner that eases the listener into a soft and pillowy world dominated by electronic bleeps, glitches and moans.
Ovalprocess
equally represents an innovative music software application, designed by Popp, as much as it serves as the core engine to an innovative Oval sound installation. The installation is centered around one or several publicly accessible sound terminals running the
Ovalprocess
application, rendering the exhibit a customizable, collaborative workspace. Making the installation accessible in a public space is the ideal aesthetic that Popp craves-he feels it is far more effective than offering a CDRom or another option that would make the application available on a more individual basis. The
Ovalprocess
installation allows the public to use sounds that are found on the album to produce their own Oval-like music. His latest release displays Popp's talent at developing a deep and complex groove with seemingly difficult tools.
Ovalprocess
is best enjoyed at a loud volume. Oval's rich and round tones provide a Siren-like lure that is irresistible."

TKCF 77022CD
1998 debut by the new trio grouping of Keiji Haino, (guitar, vocal) Ikuroh Takahashi (drums)& Masami Kowaguchi (bass, ex-Broombusters). A new venture into the universe of recorded Haino sound, this group are apparetnly covering Japanese folk classics. The material is all from the 60s/70s (with one track dating back "much further"), but we don't have solid information about the identification of the original artists that are covered -- our research on this will have to continue. But this album does feature very unusual angularization of the Haino attack, venturing from
Affection
like strummed ambiance to almost-DNA-like territories of atonal rock aggression. Features 9 tracks recorded in the same time frame (2-4/98) as the above 2 Fushitsusha albums. Widely arrayed, intensely performed.

Catalog #:
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.
