Artist: VAJRA Title: Live 2007 Format: CD Label: PSF Country: Japan Price: $20.00 |
| "Guitar, vocals: Keiji Haino; guitar, vocals: Kan Mikami; percussion: Toshiaki Ishizuka. "First live album by the Japanese rock power trio to end all power trios -- Kan Mikami, Keiji Haino and Toshiaki Ishizuka!! This presents the group at a thrilling peak of their rock deconstruction-reconstruction praxis, one of those all too rare manifestations of the musical sublime. Mikami is in top blues testifying form, his voice a thing of cracked beauty and weathered power. Haino and Ishizuka infuse the songs with telepathic engagement -- constant layered motion, percussive blast-bombs and eruptions of black lava. Simply a ferocious record. Limited edition of 1000 in mini-LP style paper-sleeve." -PSF |

Artist: VAJRA Title: Tsugaru Format: CD Label: PSF Country: Japan Price: $21.00 |
| "Vajra is a new trio made up of Kan Mikami (vocals, guitar), Keiji Haino (vocals, guitar) & Toshi Ishizuka (percussion; ex-Brain Police, currently with Cinorama & Tomokawas group). "The name Vajra is a sanskrit word which has many meanings, including outsiders and those people with the power to change an era. Tsugara refers to an area in the far north of Japan, which has given birth to many of Japans most powerfully unique musicians, writers and performers (it is also Mikamis birthplace). This CD represents an improvised studio performance of unprecedented force and musical empathy. Ferocious, bleak, beautiful and inspiring -- the true soul of Japanese spirituality!" |
