(entitled Rotting Telepathies ), and the recently rediscovered '87 KAD 3:4:5:6 set, which makes this disinterring of a highly limited 1990s La Musica cassette edition particularly significant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unrelenting dunt of the rhythm section here, locked-in and revolving around Nanjo's bowel-rumbling bass, is the perfect foil for Kadotani's guitar—sometimes cutting, sometimes spindly—and the stream of babble that was his vocal style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's frazzled but underpinned by viciously sharp logic. A beautiful representation of Kadotani, the man Nanjo once called \"the only real punk in Japan.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Musica Records was a label founded by Asahito Nanjo in Tokyo during the 1990s. It released nearly 200 cassettes and CD-r's, all handmade in micro-editions sold at shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe catalog featured artists and recordings largely of obscure, often completely unknown origin, sanctioned and \"grey-area\" documentation of the Tokyo psychedelic underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I-e4LAHVD_U?si=2rn8gJsJqi1TfLdz\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44222566957098,"sku":"ROTTING TELEPATHIES - Rotting Tapes II LP","price":64.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1273\/6111\/files\/rottingtelepathies-rottingtapes.jpg?v=1775043598","url":"https:\/\/www.strangeworldrecords.com.au\/products\/rotting-telepathies-rotting-tapes-ii-lp","provider":"Strangeworld Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
