Land of The Rising Noise Vol. 3 IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

We just managed to get the LAST THREE COPIES of this killer compilation from the label - once these are gone, this title is sold out for good!

3rd in the series of the New Music From Japan series spearheaded by Charnel, which brought together a diverse range of sounds from the fertile Japanese noise/psych/heavy underground of the 1990's. Diversity is the word here: you get an excellent cosmic feedback drone jam from Acid Mothers Temple called "Super Sunshine", Grind Orchestra's radioactive mutant hippie drum circle, some fucking isolated sinewave doom from I.S.O. featuring Otomo Yoshihide that combines almost Khanate style plod with ultra-minimalist electronic tweak...plus there's weird sylvan prog-ambient from Mitsuru Tabata of Zeni Geva, classic brutal Japanese noise from K2 that sounds like a kitchen being electrocuted, trippy psych from Mady Gula Blue Heaven, more brutal Japanese noise from Shincho 2m and some skull crushing post-Killer Bug damage from Kazumoto Endo, a freaking awesome collaboration from Coa & Keiji Haino that takes bulldozing noise rock guitar into severely overmodulated improv dimensions, freaked out psychedelic garage-pop-noise weirdness from Ultra Fuckers, seriously creepy howling witch-in-a-cavern drones from Yukiko, and a 11+ minute jam of awesomely stumbling, destroyed, vaguely grungy psych/sludge/indie/folk weirdness from Kaneko Jutoku of Kosokuya. Awesome comp with no duds, and the packaging features photography of Remi Futoyama's exquisitely creepy doll sculptures, making this a solid compendium of shadowy Japanese psychedelic strangeness.
