PSFD-81
Masayoshi Urabe / Alto Sax Solo
Urabe is the ONLY Japanese player with the ability to soar beyond where Kaoru Abe left off, and for anyone with even the slightest interest in the possibilities of human breath and forged brass this is an essential and tremendously exciting document.

$18
PSFD-82
Kazuki Tomokawa / Fat in the morning light
Eighth CD on PSF from the true master of unalloyed humanity and possessed song-spirit.

$18
PSFD-83
Lee Konitz / Unaccompanied live in Yokohama
This disk is Konitz's first solo disk in 22 years (and it also features him in a duo with Takayanagi pupil Kazuo Imai). The first five tracks here a 45 minute solo medley, which displays Konitz's unique structural sense and refined tone.

$18
PSFD-84
Kan Mikami / Merchant on the pass
Seventh solo PSF album. He is simply the one of the most unique artists you're ever likely to hear (or not).

$18
PSFD-85
Mike Wilhelm / Live in Tokyo
Ex-Charlatans, ex-Flaming Groovies, ex-Mainliners psych-folk guitarist and vocalist Mike Wilhem's first live CD.

$18
PSFD-86
Michihiro Sato / On a cold, cold night
On this totally solo disk (his previous releases have always featured accompanists). Sato manages to fuse his two obsessions: combining several pieces from the traditional canon with a lengthy improvisation.

$18
PSFD-87
Hallelujahs / Niku o kuraite chikai o tateyo
Hallelujahs were a band led by Shinji Shibayama, during the mid-eighties. It floats on layers of melody rather than rhythm, and in places it has an incomparable start of autumn melancholic atmosphere.

$18
PSFD-88
VAJRA / The Seventh Consciousness
This third album, in contrast to the previous two, features Mikami only on vocals. The absence of his rhythm guitar totally alters the dynamic of the group, moving the focus to Haino's guitar and Ishitsuka's martial, textured drumming.

$18
PSFD-89
Che-SHIZU / Suisho(Crystal)
There's a fascinating atonality to the sound of her kokyu, a sound that exists in between the cracks of organized tones and rhythm.

$18
PSFD-90
Kosokuya + Masayoshi Urabe / The Dark Spot
Kosokuya are one of Japan's more mysterious psychedelic inner-space rock groups with an obscure history dating back to the late seventies. Great sensitive + heavy playing, lovely vocal action from Kaneko, and Urabe's unique atmospherics.

$18
PSFD-91
MUSICA TRANSONIC / 3rd
They describe themselves as a "Contemporary Improvised Psychedelic Group", and the music itself is the most hyper over-the-top rock mayhem imaginable.

$18
PSFD-92
Poly Breath Percussion Bank / P.B.2 Live
Dynamic percussionist Hano has made a name for himself through several self-released albums, and his work with Peter Brozmann. However, the real revelation here is the seventy-five year old altoist, Keizo Inoue. This disk reveals him to be a thoughtful and inventive free player on both alto and clarinet.

$18
PSFD-93
Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. / s/t
First release for the "freak-out trip" group led by Makoto Kawabata, long-haired guitar monster of Musica Transonic, Mainliner, Toho Sara etc notoriety. "Recorded under the influence of the teachings of the Acid Mothers Temple, and of internalized psychedelic states."

$18
PSFD-94
Charles Gayle / Solo in Japan
This is a document of one of the solo gigs by the modern sax legend and presumed bearer of the hallowed flame of Black American free jazz when he made his first trip to Japan.

$18
PSFD-95
Motoharu Yoshizawa / Play Unlimited
Yoshizawa is beyond doubt one of the most important, yet unknown, giants of Japanese free improvisation. He has been playing for forty years and was a leading figure in the Japanese free jazz scene of the late sixties and early seventies.

$18
PSFD-96
Kazuki Tomokawa / Dreams die blithefully day by day
This is his ninth record for PSF, and features him in alternately introspective and insane screaming modes, with the accompaniement of longtime collaborator Masato Nagahata and legendary free bassist Motoharu Yoshizawa

$18
PSFD-97
Kan Mikami / Storms Rain Storms
The guy is honestly a living national treasure - an inspiring outsider-philosopher-poet, with a dark soul the size of Fuji. Cover drawing by cult manga artist, Fujio Akatsuka.

$18
PSFD-98
MUSICA TRANSONIC w/ Keiji Haino / s/t
This unlikely chemistry sees them teaming up with Keiji Haino for a series of epic, bruising collisions. Especially check out the tracks with Haino trading licks with Kawabata.

$18
PSFD-99
HIGH RISE / Desperado
For this their sixth PSF album, the drum seat is occupied by free-jazz veteran Shoji Hano (Tokyo jazz-scene stalwart, Peter Brotzmann accomplice, Poly-Breath Percussion Band leader). Hano's presence makes High Rises improv methodology more apparent than its ever been before.

$18
PSFD-100
VAJRA / Shomon (Sravaka)
Fourth album by power-improv trio of frightening instinctual authority. It sees Vajra scaling yet higher peaks of collective individuality.

$18
