HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Mysterious recording of Tolerance supposably between Anonym and Divin, found in possession of Vanity owner Agi Yuzuru, a cassette simply with a label saying ‘Dose”. 6 tracks on this that sound around from where Anonym takes off, really in the indirect no-wave and psych area. You could really pose this as an unreleased album. Playful and loose recordings, perhaps sketches of ideas and not complete songs. Extremely druggy and surreal. Recalls abstract dissonance of The Velvet Underground, in a sense that they (or Cale) were accessible avant-garde records that reached Japan as the boom of independent music took place and that this is the most darkest 60’s psychedelia Tolerance sound on record in parts. Funnily enough, has moments of cacophony that remind me of Angus Maclise recordings. Still has an acidic electronic glaze and strange weightless percussion. Evertything mixed so dreamy, who were these people?. It’s awfully dense, much more than Divin’, and assuming this was performed on minimal equipment, really sways forcefully, with vocals that intensify and flutter song to song.
I wrote that a while ago, but upon re-listen, this may now be my favourite Tolerance recording. AWESOME.
