Hikari yami uchitokeaishi kono hibiki
First album of solo guitar by Keiji Haino in quite some time, but very much a departure from the mountain-levelling, continent-sundering, weather-system huge electric guitar releases of years past. The title roughly translates as 'Light darkness melt…
To start with, let’s remove the colour !
Gorgeous new bag of home-recorded mystery from Haino. Apparently recorded alone, late at night and at minimal volume, these latest recordings tremble with the same deep-welled emotional sensitivity and sense of veiled threat that animated classics li…
The 21st century hard-y-guide-y man
Haino uses a hurdy gurdy, runs it through his battery of effects and winds up with a large whoosh of noise not unlike Tony Conrd's violin.
Nijiumu
Keiji Haino is Fushitsusha's mainman. Dark Avant-garde experimental music with various ancient instruments and metal. Complete black package.
Barking practice-White lines
Kanryu: Debut Live in Korea 2006 sees Mikami reunited with the masterful Korean komungo player and vocalist Shin Heyon, who played together him on the Fukon group release (PSFD-8001). Eight years on that epochal cross-cultural meeting, Mikami journey…
Jazz
Incredible screaming voice and guitar sound. New dimensions of real Japanese folk legend.
Flashback
The private home recordings presented here have been unearthed by Masayoshi Urabe which seem to date from around 1983. There's the unmistakable feel of low-level mania throughout, as Kawani moans, jabbers and obsesses wordlessly into a microphone ove…
Unfolding
No Obi. Awesome CD release documenting the 'magic' world of Harry Bertoia sound scuptures. This reissues two of this American genius's many self-released LPs as a great public service. His "sounding sculptures" consist of "ranks of tall slender rods,…
D!O!D!O!D!
Fantastic album of pure guitar and drums brutality (and the first non-Japanese release for PSF in several years) from the greatest noise musician in China, Li Jianhong. Long resident in Hangzhou, Li has released several records on his own 2pi label, …
1st (Live)
This is where it all began. One of the first releases on the then fledgling PSF label was a DLP by FUSHITSUSHA, Keiji Haino's ultimate rock unit.
1991. 9. 26. 19:15-20:08
26th September 1991 saw a titanic showdown at the Shibuya La Mama club in Tokyo. Keiji Haino's tumultuous Fushitsusha brought their epochal de/re-construction of rock to ringside to tussle it out with John Zorn's international hardcore skronk trio Pa…
Eien no houga saki ni te o dashitanosa
From 1978, the earliest group recordings by Fushitsusha yet to be released. A vital document for understanding the Japanese underground and the truest, most exciting rock group of the contemporary era. Now here's something unexpected and utterly fasc…
Origin’s hesitation
Expectations exploded, intentions fleetingly revealed, faith justified. A new album from Keiji Haino's Fushitsusha is always going to be a major event. And to make the release of Origin's Hesitation even more significant, it is the first new album fr…
Pathetic
The fourth overall release by Keiji Haino's Fushitsusha group (following the Double Live LP (PSF 3/4), Double Live CD (PSF 15/16) and Allegorical Misunderstanding (Avant 008). This has 4 long tracks, 74 minutes of music; stylistically it's i…
Live
Keiji Haino's rock trio debuted to the world of recordings with a double live LP set (PSF 3/4 -- long deleted) and then followed it up with this one -- another double live set (completely different material). Mind boggling guitar/bass/drums extensio…
Live document 2003-2005
Third release on PSF by Exias-J (Experimental Improvisor's Assocation of Japan), Japan's most conceptually determined improvising collective and their first DVD. Containing three performances from Tokyo and New York, this is a challenging clash of me…
Balance of chaos
Thrilling document of seriously wired Japanese improv collective, raising electric ghosts and phantom sonorities live in New York. Exias-J (short for Experimental Improviser's Association of Japan) have been around since 2000, and this is their secon…
Avant-garde
This live recording presents Exias-J as a quintet (Hideaki Kondo and Takuo Tanikawa-guitars, Shin-Ichiro Kanda-piano and synth), Tetsuya Miyazaki-computer and electronics, Naoto Nishizawa-drums). In a huge departure from their previous releases, this…
Solo in Japan
This is a document of one of the solo gigs by the modern sax legend and presumed bearer of the hallowed flame of Black American free jazz when he made his first trip to Japan.
Live at InRoads
One of the heaviest live documents of the original Borbetomagus big-band - Jim Sauter and Don Dietrich on saxophones, Donald Miller on guitar and Brian Doherty on live electronics - live at In-Roads, New York, 27th November 1982. This one was origina…
