Founded in 1984 by Masahiko Ohno, Solmania is a trailblazer in the Japanese music landscape.

A monumental work of guitar drone / avant-garde noise, "Re-Rurr" was originally released on cassette on his own Fatagaga Tapes (1985). The two expansive tracks featured here highlight Ohno's mastery of multi-neck guitars and harp guitars, with their unconventional body shapes and peculiar pickup placements. The interplay of harmonies and textures creates a sonic tapestry, blurring the boundaries between structured composition and abstract noise.

Ohno's musical prowess truly comes to the fore; his ability to seamlessly blend disparate elements like guitar, tape, radio, metal, turntable, and vocals still pushes the boundaries of traditional music-making. A deeply immersive listening experience with shimmering chords, dense harmonics, hypnotic overtones, and immersive sonic textures.
