TABATA - 'Brainsville' CD (Elsie & Jack Recordings)
'Brainsville' is the first solo full-length exploration by Mitsuru Tabata (Zeni Geva, Acid Mothers Temple, ex-Boredoms etc). Expressive otherworldly blues that will appeal to the right side of the brain and fans of Loren Mazzacane. This expansive music will defy all expectations. Monumental abstract rural eastern psych. Experimental music ranging from walls of distortion to metal guitars to acoustic pieces and even some electronic assaults. An exotic transmission - graceful, shimmering, like the birth of a million suns.

TABATA - 'La Vie Electrique: Last Exit To Brainsville' CD (Elsie & Jack Recordings)
The second solo cd from Mitsuru Tabata, founding member of the Boredoms, guitarist in Zeni Geva and now bassist / vocalist in Acid Mothers Temple amongst others, Tabata has once again sprinkled his own brand of moondust all over these recordings. Heavily influenced by memories of Ultraman, this is a trip inside the speeding mind of a 70�s child. Not that this is an exercise in charming nostalgia! Tabata strikes a delicate balance between instrumental technique + raw sound manipulation to exorcise the sounds of his past. Liner notes from Tabata himself. Ltd x 500.

TABATA MITSURU - 'Mankind Spree' CD (Fourth Dimension)
"Mankind Spree" is the latest solo album by Tabata Mitsuru (Acid Mothers Temple, Zeni Geva), which is every bit as good as one may expect from an artist who has the power and vision to soundtrack time folding in on itself whilst simultaneously pushing the psychedelic envelope into realms where melodies, static white crackle and overflowing rivers of electronics converge like the very points where sanity opens its welcoming hands to madness. Featuring several guests, including Acid Mothers Temple's synth player, Higashi Hirosh, "Mankind Spree" comprises seven cuts that cough 'n' splutter over angular rhythms, suck up noise as colourful and beautiful as a perfect rainbow, hit back with some melodic scree and never stray too far from Tabata's keen ear for those rather more avant-strained sensibilities.
