Facialmess does ultra cut-up brutal noise. Hana Kodama (Yukiko and Fumio Kosakai of Incapacitants / Hjjokaidan / C.C.C.C.) go for subtle ambience with voice, an electric harp and a lot of delay. "Facialmess is all about fierce twisting of pedal knobs and super fast cut-up techniques. The sound is not extremely harsh, but the sudden changes and the fact you never know what's coming next make up for that nicely. Among the finest of this kind of noise I've heard recently. The other side is completely different. Calm ambient done with vocals and electric harp, both manipulated with delay and reverb effects. The vocals are quite eerie and sound a bit like theremin perhaps. The harp makes vague clanking and tinkling sounds here and there. Actually, the whole thing is not much unlike some Keiji Haino works!" (Hard and Obscure). Ltd x 200 copies in a black disco sleeve with credits insert.
