HIROSHI HASEGAWA - 'Ascension No. 999' CD (Steinklang)
(2008) Hiroshi Hasegawa's musical roots go back to the late 80s, where he started as a pioneer of Japanese Experimental Electronic music.

Ascension No.999 is his first album under his real name (apart froma split LP from 1988) and is also his very first ultra Noise work!
