pica disk press release...

government alpha: resolution of remembrance 1992-1999 pica012. 4 x cd box-set. released autumn 2009. 500 copies. yasutoshi yoshida's government alpha project started in 1992 and quickly became one of the leading names in the third generation of japanese noise music. government alpha was characterized by its ferociously intense signature sound. noise fans often speak of a feeling of "pure energy" felt when listening to noise music. few artists consistently embodies this better than government alpha. audiences in the west first started to take notice when government alpha appeared on the susan lawly "extreme music from japan" compilation and vinyl releases on segerhuva and vinyl communications. but at the same time yasutoshi recorded a series of works released on the cassette format. these were (as often is the case with noise tapes) released in very limited editions. the "resolution of remembrance 1992-1999" box-set is a selection of 62 tracks from these obscure releases in the years 1992 to 1999, released by labels like harbinger sound, mother savage noise productions, hospital productions, utsu tapes, american tapes and of course yoshida's own xerxes imprint. the first cd also includes previously unreleased tracks from 1992/93. an unstoppable natural flow of soundwaves seemingly unfiltered by human presence, as unpredictable a flow as any natural force. pure noise, not filtered through, but channelled by the musician. let me emphasise how happy i am to see this box set being realised. hopefully it will work as an eye-opener to those who are new to the music of yasutoshi yoshida. - from tommy carlsson's liner notes

rainbow bridge press release...

government alpha - somnambulant c46 - rb-082 i spoke with yasutoshi, the man behind government alpha, about the recent earthquake in japan. he described it as "a terrible shaking!" the same could be said to describe the material he submitted to rainbow bridge for this release. it is almost as if he manifested the recent japanese natural disasters in noise-form months before they occurred. this tape is plagued with swirling, swarming, scathing, oscillating textures that do not follow most harsh noise trends. these sounds seem to hurl you into a spiral of head-melting chaos more so than they crush your skull. side b is a live performance recorded in june of 2010 is even more dynamic and diverse, including some nutty screaming from yasutoshi's own vocal chords. this material is strange, ruthless, and the more i listen to it, the more i love it. japanoise at it's finest, ladies and dicks. professionally printed, hand-numbered, full-color artwork with hand-stamped, purple tinted tapes. limited to 50.
