The Soup Disk label releases interesting permutations of hip hop. In particular, I find Riow Arai's recent album _Mind Edit_ (and the accompanying 12" EP _Mind Syndicate_) to be especially genre-expanding, with very fresh production; in other words, _Source_ and _Rap Pages_ readers will be baffled and declare it not hip hop at all. So Takahashi's new album on Carpark, _NuBus_, is outstanding--sounds like a brilliant update of the 60s/70s academic electronic composer approach. Atau's _Biorhythm_ (soon coming on Caipirinha) has similarities to the Takahashi LP, but also has some danceable rhythms among the exploratory, hospital ER sounds. An artist by the name of Hiromi (I may be way off) put out some great, fucked-up d&b/electro/hip hop-like tracks on Worm Interface in 99. Bisk is simply godhead. Japan's producing an impressive amount of great electronic musicians. The abovementioned merely scratches the surface of its riches.

True - one compilation I really enjoyed (1998 release) is TOKYO TECH BREAKBEATS "NS Comfusion" - I posted about it last year; 11 tracks by 6 different contributors. Very very nice.

Further along this line is some of the Shi-Ra-Nui stuff - although the _Shi-Ra-Nui vs. Sub Rosa_ is hardly exciting, it is an interesting and sometimes challenging listen; just not the remixes. I believe the Ruf Neck Piano _Repaired Piano_ album came out on Shi-Ra (too lazy to look), and is basically a lot of seriously deranged piano jazz/edited hip-hop. And that's stretching it. All of that means I highly recommend it. All the Shi-Ra stuff seems to take Vadim's non-lateral hypothesis to the break(beat)ing point. Stretched and airy lack of beats abound. Speaking of Vadim, Jazz Fudge put out a comp in collaboration w/ P-Vine in 1997 entitled _DJ Vadim Presents Sculpture and Broken Sound_ (at one time to be pressed by Silent/Pulse Soniq), that although it mainly focuses on Jazz Fudge playas, features Ruf Neck Piano (and a Vadim remix of Faultline's "Partyline Honey"). Anybody heard the albums _Broken Bells_ and _Charred Bells_ on Shi-Ra (I believe)? I'd love to see a review ...

Maybe that's who NItzer Ebb was singing about ... and I always thought it was a take off of Butthead's name ; )

In my limited interaction with Japanese musics, I am believing this more and more with exposure to each additional album. Tis' a pity all the cds cost around $23 US, though.
