Bunsuirei
First Gig
Japanese import. Bunsuirei is one of the most unique new psychedelic bands from Japan. They are influenced by bands from the Japanese underground scene like Ché-SHIZU, Tori Kudo/Maher Shalal Hash Baz, Hallelujahs, Kousokuya, Fushitsusha, Hisato Higuchi etc. 'First Gig' was recorded as support act for Ché-SHIZU on August 11th, 2019 in Tokyo. The first half of the album contains four unprocessed live recordings. A field recording of cicadas cawing is inserted as an interlude, and the second half contains a version of the same live recording mixed with environmental sounds such as crows cawing, water sounds, passing trains, thunder, crowded streets, and conversations. This is a unique double feature. The remix and sound arrangement was done by Baba Masami, who is a noted sound artist. Previously released on a limited CD-R, it is now available again on a factory pressed CD. Limited to 200 copies.
