Totally complete copy all in TOP CONDITION Another obscurity, released here in Japan in a tiny edition way back in the mid-seventies.
Ultra rare item and first copy I see for real.
These babies just never ever turn up and are only referred to in hush voices in dark hallways.
Great ultra rare 7 LP box set that came out in 1975 6.
The whole set is comprised out of compositions by some of Japan s finest avant-garde composers who each wrote new compositions especially for this release that were to be executed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Chorus.
The end result is baffling and had me floored, stupefied and mesmerized.
I had never expected choral music to be such a challenging and mind blowing listening experience as on display on this box.
The box is literally filled with highlights but my personal entrance point was Takehisa Kosugi s contribution South No.
5 , which comes close to sounding like insect hissing and chirping descending from the heavens, a plague of ghost like cave dwelling locusts to infest your dreams.
Hard to believe this is merely voices at work, sounds at times like electronic music or musique concrete.
Compelling to say the least.
Other tracks sound like wild esoteric Buddhist chanting as if Magma had invaded the local monastery.
On other pieces Akira and Osorezan era Geino Yamashirogumi spring clearly to mind.
In all mind bending great stuff, austere and esoteric at the same time and a chilling listening experience.
Highest possible recommendation and nowhere else available so take your chance and hold your piece forever.
Rare beyond belief and bound to not surface again for years or decades to come.
Massive original pressing New to the e-bay game but long experience in selling records so bid with confidence.
