• MASONNA - 'Vestal Spacy Ritual' LP

"Vestal Spacy Ritual", initially released on CD by Japanese label Alchemy Records in 1999, is a testament to Masonna's ability to create an overwhelming and mind-altering listening experience. He  immerses the listener in a relentless sonic assault, utilising piercing high frequencies, distorted vocals, and a barrage of abrasive textures. The tumultuous journey plunges the listener into a maelstrom of sound, with waves of screeching feedback and distorted pulsations.

Masonna's mastery lies in his ability to create a sense of disorientation and unease, as if the listener is navigating through a swirling vortex of chaos; a relentless onslaught of noise with a really psychedelic touch. As well as the usual use of Maso's "harstronics" pedals, synth, ring modulator and echo chambers are employed here.

"Vestal Spacy Ritual" can be considered the transition album to Yamazaki's cosmic phase, where the first analogue 'space' machines are employed, combining elements of noise, distortion, and harsh vocals into an overwhelming 'space' sonic experience. With its unrelenting intensity and psychedelic aesthetic, "Vestal Spacy Ritual" stands as a testament to Masonna's artistic vision and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of sonic expression.

Yamazaki "Maso" Takushi created Masonna in 1987, simultaneously recording on tapes and 7"s for his own Coquette label. His ultra-limited editions have contributed to create a mythology based above all on the astonishing intensity with which Maso devastates and reprocesses the vocal chords. 

Ltd x 199 copies, featuring the original captivating, psychedelic artwork by Japanese designer and artist Masahiko Ohno faithfully reproduced in LP format. Comes with a 12" insert plus postcard.
