MARBLE SHEEP - Tokyo 1988
Brand new re-mastered and expanded edition of this long out-of-print seminal live CD from Japans Marble Sheep (or to give them their full title on this release: Marble Sheep and the Run-Down Suns Children). This was originally issued by Cold Spring back in 1995, and sold out within a week of release. This classic Marble Sheep line-up boasts the inclusion of some giants of the Japanese scene. Members of Zeni Geva, Incapacitants and Hijokaidan all grace the CD for this blistering performance. This is by no means a noise release though - it is incendiary Japanese rock music in the tradition of the likes of High Rise, Fushitsusha and Acid Mothers Temple. The CD is lavishly housed in a beautiful mini-LP gloss laminated sleeve, with brand new full color artwork. It is rounded off with the inclusion of two previously unreleased tracks from the same period in the bands history. The special mini-LP packaging is exclusive to the first 1000 copies. -Dirter.
