****** TABI 01 BACK IN STOCK ******

Five years old and still unrivalled as the most utterly bewildering assemblage of practically unknowable music we've ever heard, the inaugural Tabi Tape from Pianola Records head Yohei Kunitomo is back in print for a limited time only.  What we said last time below... (Mint / New - with free DL) 

Freshly minted in-house guerrilla mix-tape series - Tabi Tapes - gets underway in fine style with the inaugural outing coming via esteemed Tokyo uber-digger / DJ Yohei Kunitomo aka pianola.  Armed with an unmatched knowledge on the deepest pockets of avant-garde, musique-concrete, sound-art and other peripheries of experimental music, mostly through managing THE most mind-blowing collection of records on the planet at HMV Tokyo, pianola assembles an engulfing, nostalgia-laced trip through the ages.  Blending found-sound, fragmented music-box memories and odd snippets fused with layers of electro-acoustic texture, Yohei's collage style is entirely unique and completely transcends the unending quest for over-fetishised record-objects in favour of re-contextualising old, forgotten, unknown and never to be known sound.  Basically, tracklist here is completely out of the window, although the keen-eared amongst you might be able to pick up on a few nuggets.  The B-side drifts away from the past towards a more hypnogogic, nature-indebted fusion of field-recordings, contemporary classical and traditional drone pieces, discretely blended to allow full immersion.  Very special mix and a tough act to follow!  90 minutes - limited to 50 copies // download available on request.
