Barcode: 0826853973182
Catalog no.: BE
Item ID: 447304
On vinyl, here's a reissue of Keiji Haino's obscure debut-album, originally dating back to 1981. 'Watashi Dake?' presents a haunting vision, created with stark vocals, whispers and screams, and dark silences. Intricate and sharp guitar figures interweave, repeat and stretch, trance-like, emerging from dark recesses. Written and composed on the spot, Haino's vision is one of deep spiritual depths that distantly evokes 1920s blues and medieval music, yet is unlike anything ever committed to record before or since. Coupled with starkly minimal packaging featuring the now iconic cover photographs by legendary photographer Gin Satoh, the album is a startling and fully realized artistic statement.
