In fact, I recall reading abt the time SY took Descension as the support act and they were apparently heckled. Descension do make that sort of blistering sound.

It's a pity I don't have a CD burner. These MP3 files are stuck in the prison that is my computer hard drive! The only thing that makes me think (if I play this loud enough it might actually damage my speakers).

Theres a new taj mahal travellers reissue as reviewed on the latest wire as well. prob. pick it up.
The sequencing is wrong. Here's the track listing, from rallizes web page:
1. Enter the Mirror 11'30" 2. ???????12'04" 3. ???16'12" 4. ?????11'35" 1. ?????15'32" 2. ???????8'30" 3. The Last One 25'24" Disk 1: 2nd track is called 'Night of the Assassins' 3. Flames of Ice 4. A memory is far Disk 2: don't have the translation to 1 and 2. The first 3 tracks on disc 1 is OK (1 and 2 on 'side 1' of the vinyl. Flames of ice on 'side 2' but A memory is far is not the last track on the vinyl. That is the 8:30 secs one on disc 2). Its a straight swap (since it probably wouldn't fit due to the time considerations). Can you fit 27+ mins onto one side of vinyl? Also the last (i think) 10 secs of memory is far is missing (just noting this, if you 15.32+11.35 that is slightly more than 27 mins). But i think my MP3 of the 'last one' is 21 mins long whereas I think they have all 25 mins onto vinyl (the bassline is the same 'melody' but it's a slightly different tuning I think, but I'll have to check). I'm wondering also why didn't they bootleg it onto 2xCDs. maybe vinyl was cheaper... It's a very good record. and when it's that good things like artwork don't matter. My small speakers connected to my computer cannot do justice to the sound of this band as I play the Mp3s. but my stereo speakers can as I play the vinyl (though it would surely pale in comparison to seeing this stuff live). So I'm glad I got it. Amazing what some of these bands were working at on the other side of the planet (recorded 'le 12 mars 1977 a Tachikawa' as it says on the webpage). It is a psychedelic rock record but the way they go on their 'noise assault' is pretty remarkable. so if you have a shitty computer get hold of it (I had most of these as MP3s but I had to get it). ― Julio Desouza, Sunday, 11 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

there are a couple of things labelled variously "mass studio demo" or "mars studio demo" that are somewhat different - one features two versions of "romance of black grief" (i think) that are surprisingly subtle and have some nice tape-delay messing about. the other (september 9th, 1980) is atypical rallizes stuff with some noisy guitar.
the "red" cdr is pretty good, too, but as with all rallizes stuff they generally just did the same batch of songs again and again.

Anyone interested in Japanese psych/scuzz should seek the Gaseneta disc on PSF. 1978-era total punk garbage guitar that influenced High Rise later (who apparently shared some music on a cassette release with Gaseneta). Imagine speed-psych acid mothers minus the reverb, with a lot grottier production and a guy plowing through solos ultra-fast with gloves on...hits the spot for me!

I don't think it's entirely different performances, I think it's just confusingly worded. It's the same songs as the main Citta '93 release, just pulled from different recording sources and includes a missing ending faded out on the main release.

Unheard 1980 studio session!
In the realm of Les Rallizes Dénudés recordings, finding a completely unheard studio session is a rare and monumental occurrence. While preparing YaneUra Oct. ‘80 for release, such an event occurred—a mysterious tape was unearthed. Within the pile of various archived recordings from the same era was an undated cassette, which contained the unmistakable guitar sounds of frontman Takashi Mizutani and that of Fujio Yamaguchi, the former Murahachibu guitarist whose time with the Rallizes ushered in a new era for the band. It’s a known fact that there are many unofficial Rallizes releases out there, most of them being recordings of their live shows. However this tape, for certain, was something no one had ever heard before. The exact date of this recording is unknown, but according to Kiyohiro Takada (aka Doronco), who was the band’s bass player at the time, “there’s no mistaking that this is from Mars Studio in Kunitachi, from summer 1980, soon after we started recording there.”MARS STUDIO ~ The First Session ~ is the first-ever release of this rare studio recording by Les Rallizes Dénudés. It begins with “Flame of Ice,” which picks up the tempo and heats up as the song reaches the middle point. Then, coming down like an avalanche are wilder than usual versions of “Reapers of the Night” and “The Night, Assassin’s Night,” followed by “The Last One.” The relaxed yet unrelentingly clashing interplay between the four musicians is far removed from the performance heard on YaneUra Oct. ‘80, which occurred just a few months later. It might be fair to say that this is the most punkish iteration of the Rallizes in the band’s long history. This raw and intense sound goes beyond just being outré for the band, and becomes something that is simply thrilling to hear.MARS STUDIO ~ The First Session ~ captures a flashpoint in the band’s Fujio-era lineup, which ultimately lasted only half a year or so. At the same time, it is bursting with the bottomless potential that the 1980s Les Rallizes Dénudés possessed deep within.01 氷の炎 / Flame of Ice (16:07 TRT)02 夜の収穫者たち / Reapers of the Night (7:10 TRT)03 夜、暗殺者の夜 / The Night, Assassin's Night (9:20 TRT)04 The Last One_1980 (11:10 TRT)

I'd be surprised if the one they just pulled is that Double Heads September one. The track running times are different for one thing.

Around the 63' mark of The Last One from that show, the bassline drops out of the mix suddenly and gives way to an enormous squall of signature Mizutani feedback more rapturous than any I've heard in the LRD catalogue. One of my buddies is friends with a monkey who was at that show. He managed to get a setlist while the band was breaking down their gear and got it signed by Mizutani.
