Modern Music is taking orders for a new Rallizes DVD.
Site is all in Japanese, dammit.

1982, Keio University. 7,200 yen.

Yeah, pricey, but not as pricey as one of their albums by a long shot!
I really want to see this!!

Awsome, I occasionly see rallizes dvds on sale at ebay but I know most of them are bootleg copies, I would really like to see this too, especially since the 80's is considered their best era, and mizutani is so cool looking. Did you check out those videos of them, I told you about on youtube?

Yeah! Amazing.
That early 80s stuff is great, when they had the two guitars.

I'll put up the links to videos in case anyone else wants to check them out.

live 1976 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hWLzAUeTvA

live 1994 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW5FxIl8X_I

japanes TV spot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsBXLh-v_II

all these videos contain the same song, night of the assassin, I think?

for those who did not know and could be interested:

the label that released "Live in Tachikawa - 1977" has apparently just released a new recording by them, "Live 1972":



as far as i can see, it is currently available at various places... i just ordered a copy yesterday.

hmm, also, i see volcanic tongue has currently two different DVDs of the Rallizes Denudes:


1994 Live Final Era:





Metal Machine Music '82:




the second one is apparently the one Savage Clone mentioned in the first post...

Ahha...but they are soooo pricey at Volcanic Tongue. Nearly £50 or something. I reckon I'd pay maybe £30 for one...it's a Japanese dvd after all and they tend to be pricey. But 7200yen is pricey even for Japan.

Yep, saw that but haven't got it yet. Let us know what it's like if you would. I just got a copy of Live in Tachikawa '77 from ebay the other day...haven't actually got it in my hands yet though :(

oh yes, 50 british pounds is a lot: i did not really notice because i am not ready to buy those now and prices in british pounds seem cheaper than they really are to me, because i am used to euros...


i have "live in tachikawa '77" and love it... yes, i can tell you how "live 72" is like when i receive it...

great, i'm interested too. i have that -77 thing and it's one of the greatest records ever, good sounds on that edition too.

Yes...I just got back from not being in the house and 1977 Tachikawa was waiting on the doormat for me!

Come to think of it, has anyone got that Les Rallizes DVD(r?) that is always on ebay. The Ethanmoushike co ltd one? This one in fact:

Also, has anyone got any of the 10cdr boxsets that do the rounds on ebay?

I haven't, but I have purchased a High Rise DVD-R (they are DVD-R) from the guy that sells them, and I wasn't particluarly impressed. Mind you, mine was very clearly a bootleg filming - terrible picture quality, awful sound - whereas that one you're referring to is a boot of an official video, I think.

i just got this yesterday. it is a very low-fi tape dropoutathon of utter brilliance. hoorah!

Some words to go with the pictures that o o o posted (also taken from volcanic tongue):


1994 Live Final Era:

Unbelievable package from the Japanese label that have taken on the job of making available definitive versions of all sorts of juicy Rallizes-related rarities. This is one of two of the first ever Rallizes DVDs (Region 2 coding apparently, so Japan/Europe only otherwise you need a multi-region player) and presents a real DVD (not a DVD-R) with two separate audience-recorded films (w/zooms) of a gig that took place at Seibu Kodo, Kyoto during the Rallizes final live incarnation, featuring Takashi Mizutani alongside Yokai Takahashi, Yukimichi Noma and Katsushiko Ishii. Track listing is classic, including dazzling versions of "Enter The Mirror" and "The Last One" and Mizutani looks new wave as fuck, sporting sharp sculpted bangs and a tiny leather jacket and coming across as even more beanpole wasted than he looks on the companion 1982 DVD. Title page gives you the option of which version you wanna watch, with one closer to the pit action, another zooming in from the back. Full colour sleeve. Still hard to believe that this even exists. Japan-only release, highly recommended.


Metal Machine Music '82:

Unbelievable package from the Japanese label that have taken on the job of making available definitive versions of all sorts of juicy Rallizes-related rarities. This is one of two of the first ever Rallizes DVDs (Region 2 coding apparently, so Japan/Europe only otherwise you need a multi-region player) and presents a real DVD (not a DVD-R) with a professional single-camera (with zooms on Mizutani) film of a wild live show from the Rallizes trio in 1982 at Keio Gijuku University. Classic set-list takes in all of the major works and ends with a synapse-splitting version of "The Last One". Rallizes are on full-blown Exploding Plastic Inevitable style here, complete with a disorientating light show that at points casts them as three silhouettes and the sonics are the kinda post-"I Heard Her Call My Name"/"Guess I'm Falling In Love" style motorik amphetamine that birthed the term avant-garage. It almost feels wrong to see Rallizes in this kinda unveiled state, but when Mizutani laconically works his wrist around some of the most mind-bending and purely-stated acid guitar leads none of it matters a fug. The kinda direct access to the source that still feels ridiculously unlikely. Just glad that someone was keen enough to preserve this kinda jaw-dropping documentation of Rallizes subterranean reign. Comes with a full-colour sleeve that includes a replica of the gig flier and screen shots. Comes fully indexed so you can jump straight to individual tracks or watch it the whole way through. Japan-only release, highly recommended.

Does anyone have the 1982/10/08 Keio University show (Metal Machine Music '82?)? If so, how is the quality?

Does anyone know any place to trade/download/buy this?

Thanks

Just in case anyone feels the need to own a Les Rallizes Denudes t-shirt, that nice Mr Cope has them for sale on his website at the moment for £13.00:

He also has the Flightless Bird CD still available, for £12.99:



Otherwise My Conviction (3.34)
Valle de l’eau (2.37)
Enter the Mirror (13.46)
Smokin’ Cigarette Blues (19.17)
Flames of Ice (17.12)
Field of Artificial Flowers (10.37)
Deeper than Night (2.24)
Otherwise My Conviction (4.04)

FLIGHTLESS BIRD is a compilation album and rough guide to Japan’s, nay, the world’s most revolutionary rock’n’roll band (see Julian’s Album of the Month for May 2007). It’s a MEATY BEATY BIG & BOUNCY from the Underworld, a seminal and essential 70-minute work by a seminal and essential band - and it don’t half sound good. A real CD for a change. Get that, a real shrinkwrapped CD, motherfuckers!

mr cope really likes to scandalize his subject matter, uh?

thats fucking stupid.. $58 US dollars for a new mass produced DVD if it comes nicely packed i'll retract that statement but my guess it will be a fairly modest looking release with a manufacturing cost of around $3... PSF prices totally suck

cd/dvd manufacturing costs are absurd in Japan. It ain't PSF's fault. All Japanese CDs are insanely expensive.
