yeah he's awesome. "jazz bed" rules.

Yeah Kaoru Abe is great. I have his Winter 1972 solo album and it does happy things to my brain.

all of his albums.

Sick.

Holy crap. I don't know who he is, but I'm downloading that shit.

Crap. That just highlights how much I need to get more of his stuff and yet how I can't afford to right now. The discs with him and Masayuki Takayanagi have been sitting just outside my shopping basket for too long now...

hope you like super loud saxaphone blasts!

experimental etc is the best blog ever tbh

I just realised I had the blog already in my favorites, funny.

yeah.

all the "major" sun city girls releases are on there... very handy.

The Winter 1972 and Shinjuku albums are great. Thanks.

all 50 discs of MERZBOX

Attention Haino fans - if you;ve not checked it out already, go find the Lost Aaraff CD - recorded in 1971, and completely mental.

My grandad would turn in his grave if he found out I was listening to Merzbow.

My Grandad (bless him) would've said "What's that bloody rubbish? You should listen to Glenn Miller, Melly, that's real music".

1971? What the hell?

^^Yup (this was in Haino's hard-left political period, too). The first track on the CD has him yelling his lungs out (with piano and guitar feedback).

yeah that lost aaraff record is great and pretty different to his other stuff

The best way I can describe it is "Hinge And Bracket in Hell"...or "Hans Eisler on a No-Wave kick" (although LA predates No Wave by six or so years).
