This just might be the single greatest side of OTT psych/noise guitar oblivion ever put to wax, a suitably enigmatic nada-information ultra-limited LP w/printed off-set covers featuring a shades-less Mizutani, an enigmatic insert with nothing but a colour ocean-front snap and two ludicrously extended, blown-out takes on primo material from the most legendary Japanese underground group of all time, Les Rallizes Denudes: the mysteriously-named 'France Demo Tapes' have previously only circulated on wildly dubious CD-R burns, often with contradictory and conflicting track listings/material but the session (whether it was actually recorded in France or not) is consistently dated as being from some time in the late-80s, best bet being a live performance from March 23rd 1983 in Tokyo. This gloriously out-of-nowhere LP finally delivers on the hype surrounding this much whispered-about session, presenting the cream of one version of the Demo Tapes across two sides of wax, two massively deformed versions of their classics "Night Of The Assassins" and "The Last One" This does not replicate the tracks that were labelled as 'France Demo Tapes' and that were part of the 'Dizaster' recordings supposedly leaked by a Rallizes engineer, rather they seem like an extension of those sessions.
"Night Of The Assassins" is taken at an ultra-drugged and slurred pace, with Mizutani sounding like he's playing a flame-thrower rather than a guitar, scorching the rest of the group with ear-piercing high end feedback and the fattest fuzz this side of Bonehead. But it's the side-long take of "The Last One" that is possibly the single greatest recorded Rallizes moment, never mind the single greatest recorded slice of purely 'out' psychedelic noise guitar violence. Mizutani attacks the track like a bulldozer, playing blunt, bloodied chords with alia the brutal non of Jutok Kaneko circa the first Kousokuya album before breaking into an endless fuzz guitar solo that defies even the most abstruse improvisatory strategies, buckling beneath its own weight of distortion while wrenching tortuously squealing notes from straight outta the air that comes across as somewhere beyond Masayuki Takayanagi and Lou Reed circa "I Heard Her Call My Name".
You have heard *nothing* like this and when Mizutani is on this kind of form it's hard to believe that any other rock music exists outside of this singular, blasted universe. If you buy one electric guitar album this lifetime…
File next to Sweet Sister Ray, Call In Question, Clear To Higher Time, Stained Angel Morning, Pathetique and Monkey Pockie Boo in the section of your collection given over to drooling six string excess.
