Astro – “Japanese Royal Blue” – [Turgid Animal]

Two live electronic noisy track from Japanese artist Hiroshi Hasegawa. Squiggle, wiggle, shriek and feedbacks, all in a rhythmic sort of pattern. It’s not a pure brain bash like Merzbow, although the second side comes close. A consistent humming drone under the massacre I think is what makes it enjoyable (for noise). It’s almost like a prelude to something bigger. Pedals that sound like 20 Atari games all jamming at the same time. Side B is where the massive noise is more prominent. This side is for the harsh ear-piercing walls of damaging feedbacks.
