This collection, the first-ever archival release of his work, is drawn from recordings released during the period 1991-1996, an exceptionally fertile time for Kawahara.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on CD by a few Japanese independent labels including Hachiman Publishing, a cyber-occult \/ new-age \/ old Shinto book specialist, the releases were available mainly in book stores, so this sumptuous and prescient music has remained relatively unknown. The original titles and tag lines of the CDs give clues about Kawahara’s interests and the music itself: Digital Mushroom, Subtropical Illusion, Never-ending Asia, and so on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 15-track gateway compilation is available on double 12” vinyl and DL; the CD version has two extra discs featuring sound from two art installations entitled Dysteleology – α and Dysteleolog – β from the 1990s. All formats feature extensive English liner notes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eThe first-ever archival release of Henry Kawahara’s work on vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e36-page booklet (CD), fold-out 6p insert (LP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIncludes Liner notes by Keisuke Oki, Koki Emura\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIncludes an interview of Sūgen Takeda (Hachiman Publishings)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e EM1197DLP -Artist-Henry Kawahara\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 6\/29\/21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48159542149379,"sku":"5F2N39-VEFU-JG","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/cybernetic-defiance-and-orgasm-the-essential-henry-kawahara","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
