les rallizes denudes

scored a copy of le 12 mars 1977 a tachikawa from forced exposure. it's better recorded than most of their stuff i have, and mastered loud as fuck to boot. it's an everything of japanoise, an orgy of drone and feedback. (leave it to those clever japanese to beat the velvet underground at their own game.) i'm not even bothered by mizutani's less-than-snazz vocalizing, or the persistent amp hum (to someone like myself who's been playing single-coil pickups for years, that 60-cycle hum is as familiar and reassuring as a heartbeat).
