NEW ARRIVALS 5/17

MANBIKI CHOCOLATE - Super Dimensional Hardcore LP $12
18 tracks of raging hardcore from Utsunomiya City, Japan. Manbiki Chocolate Released their first record, an 8” flexi disc titled “Manbiki Densetsu Part 1” in 1990, and a self-released CD “Soloban” in 1999, both of which have become highly sought after collector’s items. The first era of the band being possibly the last of the band to play stylistically 80’s Japanese HC, while the second era perfects their sound and evolves it in a way that predated sounds heards on albums like GISM’s Sonicrime Therapy, or more recent albums like Slang’s Life Made Me Hardcore. Super Dimensional Hardcore includes the complete flexi and CD tracks as well as tracks from their mysterious Manbiki Densetsu Part 2 Tape, Fuck Off Compilation, and 3 completely unreleased tracks, all from the original masters. Includes 8 page full color booklet including a full band history, photos, and unseen full color versions of the original black and white album art.


HUMAN EYE - 4: Into Unkown LP $15
Hmmm.... I'm at a loss for words by now for Human Eye out side of  exuberant phrases like "Fuck Yeah!" or "It's Fucking Amazing" or "It's So Good." sometimes just a single "Awesome!" works.  Nursing at the teat of KBD comps and huffing glue since probably middle school and segueing to mushrooms, some of the 60's best psych and garage, Krautrock and prog and experimentation and skronk and dirty fuzz and aliens and crazy visual art and a mixture that is overly complicated and will probably never turn out nicely but it turns out beyond and better than any of your imaginations and four albums, each possibly better than the previous, in under a decade and I am back to "Fuck Yeah!" and "Awesome!" and if you don't listen to this stuff I feel bad cause you don't know.  Plus using "acid" and "punk" in the same sentence is getting redundant with HUMAN EYE.


I will be out of town over the weekend at Horrible Fest.
