Track list (preview samples):
Texture, rhythm and movement in all of its disguises, this anthology
disc captures the myriad of expression that has become the hallmark
of the Test Tone series at Tokyo's SuperDeluxe. Focusing on riveting
improvisation and stark electronica, the music collected here covers
a lot of ground, from balloon duets to helicopter compositions and
other experiments in noise. Challenging and evocative, this presents
wide-angle snapshot of Japan's current wave of international sound
pioneers.
Surrounded by murmurs, footsteps and other environmental accompaniment,
these recordings capture the immediacy of resplendent sound on location.
This disc could be as much an acoustic exploration of the performance
space as it is an aural exploration of the ambient and meditative
forms in each track. Beautifully packed into this second disc in
the Test Tone Anthology series, steelpans, kalimbas, bells, metronomes
and family-sized tuning forks all seem to find a resounding home
within the walls of Tokyo's SuperDeluxe.
This third disc in the Test Tone Anthology series pulls no punches,
offering an insider's view of what goes on outside of business hours
in downtown Tokyo. An exhilarating dose of tumultuous noise-rock,
leftfield jazz freakouts and other explosive encounters make this
a compilation for the truly brave at heart. With performances by
L?K?O, Kuruu Crew, Damo Suzuki, Muddy World, and a legion international
guests, this could in fact be the album that finally completes your
collection. Everything you wanted to know about the underground
but were afraid to ask.
