PSF is due to re-release the (long out of print) first Fushitsusha double LP on CD on
December 5th. The line-up of Fushitsusha has changed. Kosugi the drummer has left and has been replaced by Ikuro Takahashi (ex of Kosokuya, Che Shizu, Mahel Shalal Hash Baz, etc.) He joined the band in early summer of this year and his first appearance on CD as a member of the band should be on the Victo Fushitsusha release (Live at the Festival International de Musique Actuelle Victoriaville, Canada.) |

The Andy Haas album, "Arnhem Land" has been released on AVANT.
It features Haas on didjeridu playing duets with likes of
Ikue Mori, Cyro Baptista, Fred Frith, Anthony Coleman, Makigami Koichi,
and three duets with Keiji Haino singing. The 4-cd Driftworks on Big Cat has become available (about a year after it was supposedly to be released). One of the cds features Nijiumu. For more info see the Nijiumu section of the discography. Added to the forthcoming discs: Fushitsusha disc on Charnel House, live, San Francisco, Nov 96. Fushitsusha disc on Victo, live, Victoriaville, May, 97. |

Keiji Haino and Loren MazzaCane Connors, Volume 2
is out on Menlo Park Recordings.
This release features two guitar duets,
one of which has Haino playing a jaunty little riff,
uncharacteristic of him and amusing and successful.
These duets are
a lot more interactive than those on Volume 1, released on
persona non grata in 1995.
Although very different in style than the much more anticipated
Haino/Bailey duets released earlier this summer,
this disc is in no way inferior to it.
(Admittedly, the title of the Haino/Bailey cd,
"Drawing Close, Attuning --The Respective Signs of Order and Chaos"
is a little more exciting than "Volume 2".)
In short, it sounds pretty good.

"So, Black Is Myself" has been released on Alien8 Recordings. This recording features Haino solo with electronic drone, percussion, rudra vina, and voice. IMO: It is a minimalist composition, muted in tone, and is unlike any previous Haino release. Added "So, Black is Myself" cover and info to "Solo Studio Recordings" section of Discography. Added Alien8 Concert Flyer (May 18, 1997, Montreal) to Flyers section. |
