Notes

This is a nice sounding recording starting with Astro (ex CCCC, Astral Travelling Unity) and Cracksteel doing what I might call a loud noise drone thing. The KK Null piece here is particularly good – he even inserts some rhythm into the noise, which was unusual. Probably one of my favorite times seeing him. Lastly, the Norwegian avant drummer Paal Nilssen-Love is joined by Canadian ex-pate Kelly Churko, who is fairly active in the Tokyo noise scene, along with Government Alpha, who hasn’t been in any of the other Japanese Noise posts in this series. The Null track here is king though.
