Kousokuya, LSD March DVD's
 

KOUSOKUYA “Echoes from Deep Underground” CD+DVD archiveDVD1 for those that don’t know Kousokuya are a cult garage pysch rock trio formed in the 70’s in the Tokyo underground music scene by main member, and recently deceased Jutok Kaneko. Despite having existed for 20+ years the bands output has been fairly sparse with a few releases on PSF and one domestic US release on the Forced Exposure label. Originally the archive release was to be comprised of a fantastic live performance on CD from Osaka in 2001 but having discovered the existence of video footage from the same performance, coupled with the efforts of James a bonus DVD was added to the mix. This release represents to date the only video document of Jutok and Kousokuya released in official capacity and realistically represent a chance for fans of obscure psych to see a band, and artist, that basically played outside of Japan only a handful of times. This pressing of 700 copies comes packaged in a ½ fold heavy black stock cover with metallic silver and gloss varnish silkscreen work by the wonderful Alan Sherry of SIWA records. The CD and DVD come in black envelopes held together by a silkscreen obi strip. $20 postpaid in the US. Non-US orders see instructions for added postage cost

LSD MARCH “Bigjar solo sets” DVD archiveDVD2 as the title would suggest represents footage James filmed of all three members of LSD March (Shinsuke Michishita, Ikuro Takahashi, Masami Kawaguchi) performing solo sets at Philly’s best book store, BigJar, while on a short US tour in the fall of 2006. Shinsuke and Masami’s renderings represent a Japanese working of psychy folk for guitar and vocals. Ikuro offers a contrasted short piece of oscillator assemble that is firmly rooted in the avant-garde, with overtones of conceptualist art, found sound, and experimentalism. The release comes packaged in a ½ fold heavy stock cover with a pressing size of 550 copies design and silkscreen by Jason Killinger from Birds of Maya. $17 postpaid in the US. Non-US orders see instructions for added postage cost.
