Japan's Incapacitants has made an indelible mark on the noise genre with a relentless pursuit of sonic experimentation. Through their innovative use of electronics, amplification, and feedback, they have created a distinct and recognisable sonic signature, encompassing a vast range of frequencies and textures, immersing the listener in a dense and immersive sonic landscape.

"Repo" is full-on noise. From the very first seconds, it grabs your attention with an onslaught of piercing high frequencies and distorted textures. Mikawa's ability to manipulate sound is immediately apparent as they create a disorienting and immersive atmosphere. "Repo" is a Japanoise masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of noise music to exhilarating heights.

Originally released on limited vinyl by Japan's legendary Alchemy Records in 1989, this record showcases the immense creativity and technical prowess of the man behind Incapacitants, Toshiji Mikawa (Hijokaidan), here still alone ("Repo" was the last album as a one-man project, before Fumio Kosakai (C.C.C.C., Hijokaidan) joined two years later). With its relentless cacophony and innovative soundscapes, "Repo" is a testament to the enduring power of noise as an art form.
