zen^soku Grind 1st live!!! at bears (cdr from k.t.r.)
i decided to put this on as i was packing and taking apart my futon and i nearly stabbed myself, it really starts like an explosion. this is a twenty-two minute live feedback improv, pedal manipulation i guess [anyway the front cover has a picture of the toru kai, the man behind zen^soku grind, hunched over a bunch of pedals, maybe some other stuff but i can't tell]. anyway this is mostle middle- to high-frequency harsh noise, incredibly loud loud stuff, with some brief low end rumbles jumping out between high squeals. violent abrupt transitions keep this pretty interesting throughout. hesitant applause follows. i liked it anyway. get it for trade if you live anywhere but japan.
