CORRUPTED - 'Paso Inferior' CD (Nostalgia Blackrain)
"Japanese underground icons Corrupted create droning, sludgy, painfully slow death / doom metal and ambient music along the same lines as bands like Earth, Boris, and Sunn O))). Formed in Osaka, Japan, circa 1994, the reclusive group has issued an inordinate number of singles, EPs, split discs, and full-length albums over the years, but always under their own idiosyncratic terms. These include holding anything remotely resembling rock stardom in utter contempt, mysteriously writing all of their lyrics in Spanish, and refusing to even take promo shots, so that the only known images of the group are those snapped by fans at their concerts" (All Music Guide). Originally released in 1997 on CD by Frigidity Discos, this 1-track, 40 minute CD has now been remastered. Ultra heavy, ultra recommended!

NORD - 'L.S.D.' LP (PCP Records)
This is the reissue of the 1984 LP, originally issued on LSD Records. L.S.D. features rough hewn sheets of ominous yet trippy pulsating textural electronics with an obvious debt to the stark teutonic soundworlds of Kluster and Seesselberg. Any glimmers of transcendence are immediately offset by a deadzone ambience that reeks of Maurizio Bianchi. If this is cosmic, than it's the cosmos as viewed from the vantage point of a burned out cinder drifting into entropy. Nord was, for this recording, legendary Japanese Noise artist Hiroshi Oikawa. Ltd x 500 copies.
