CptHatemonger Kicking off with a downright psychotic improv by Marble Sheep wherein the band's searing free-rock wildfire is kept from melting into outright noise only by the diligence of the cyborgs in the rhythm section, this caustic ride through Japanese rock extremism maintains a similarly breakneck pace for a solid hour, each track throwing a fascinating twist or turn in to keep things interesting, until screeching to a halt so Haino can j/o into a mic for 8 minutes. Oh well, nothing's perfect! 9/10 Favorite track: High-Rise "Mainliner".

ʸᵒᵘ ᵒⁿˡʸ ˡⁱᵛᵉ ∞ⁿᶜᵉ The original legendary toukyou freakout compilation. One of the most beautiful vinyl sets I own, hands down. some people are mentioning on discogs that the packaging is too tight, but i barely notice that problem, they're not that hard to get out the sleeves. Packaging is great, the colors and design are magnificent.

Was Ist Das? Stunning vinyl edition of the classic PSF compilation. All major players of the early 90s Tokyo scene letting loose with the psychedelic noise. Looks and sounds fantastic. Favorite track: Fushitsusha "Here-You".

Black Editions is proud to present one of the most iconic compilations in the history of underground music: “Tokyo Flashback”. Originally released in 1991 by Japan’s P.S.F. Records, Tokyo Flashback defined the breathtakingly unique and previously obscured musical movement that had been developing in Japan since the late 1970’s. The compilation features some of the earliest released recordings by Keiji Haino, High-Rise, Masaki Batoh’s Ghost, White Heaven, Fushitsusha, Kousokuya and Marble Sheep. It captures the excitement and energy of a Tokyo awash in Technicolor and deep blacks; the music echoing Kraut-Rock, Psychedelic freak-outs, Garage and No Wave. At the same time it reveals astonishing, totally idiosyncratic expansions of rock music. In time, Tokyo Flashback expanded to a synonymous nine volume series that over the next two decades unveiled Japan’s ever-evolving soundscapes to the rest of the world.

Tokyo Flashback is a defining statement of late 20th Century Japanese psychedelic music and an essential primer to the world of P.S.F. All tracks are exclusive, this edition features the first time translation of the original liner notes. Black Editions’ deluxe edition is entirely re-mastered and marks the first release of Tokyo Flashback outside of Japan and it’s first ever vinyl issue.
