about

Originally released on CD in 1998 (Alien8 Recordings), "Frequency L.S.D." is now presented on vinyl for the first time. Features 14 ear-wrenching, extreme Japanese Noise tracks from Maso Yamazaki (Controlled Death).

"Frequency L.S.D. is the best Masonna CD ever, and one of the top five noise albums of all time" (Matt Kaufmann, Exile Osaka).

Ltd x 400 copies on 180g black vinyl. Sold out.

"The cult icon of Japanoise once again makes another proverbial anti-statement with his uniquely harsh blend of screams, feedback, and constantly changing blasts, rumbles and blips of sonic destruction... The main attraction of this release to new and old fans alike is the use of 60's psychedelia in the warped textures of sound laid out in each track. Instead of being treated to a barrage of uncontrolled, harsh, and maddening noise, we are treated to lengthy explorations into the joys of warped synthesizer repetition and digitally altered radio frequency loops... the best noise release put out by any artist and, after just one listen, it's not hard to hear why." (Chronicles Of Chaos)

Reviews:

"The cult icon of Japanoise once again makes another proverbial anti-statement with his uniquely harsh blend of screams, feedback, and constantly changing blasts, rumbles and blips of sonic destruction... The main attraction of this release to new and old fans alike is the use of 60's psychedelia in the warped textures of sound laid out in each track. With each successive track the influence becomes stronger and stronger until the final fourteenth track almost sounds unlike everything that one would come to expect from Masonna. Instead of being treated to a barrage of uncontrolled, harsh, and maddening noise, we are treated to lengthy explorations into the joys of warped synthesizer repetition and digitally altered radio frequency loops. After all is said and done, one is easily left with the impression that Maso has abandoned his glorious "roots" and has taken the proverbial next step in his noise sound. It is undeniable that the alteration and inclusion of entirely new sounds for the artist is a successful venture. Slowly but surely, Maso seems to have been able to calm down and "trip out" his sound so well during the album, it almost becomes unnoticeable until the later tracks.... the best noise release put out by any artist and, after just one listen, it's not hard to hear why." (9/10, Chronicles Of Chaos)

"Maso Yamazaki a.k.a. Masonna is undoubtedly the most over the top player in the field of extreme noise. He has been dominating the Japanese underground since 1987 with his barbaric mix of vocals and noise. The results on Frequency L.S.D. are incomparable to other noise makers, due to Maso’s obsession with Sixties and Seventies psychedelia. Only in the last couple of years has Masonna come to prominence here in North America. Much of this attention is due to the success of Inner Mind Mystique on Release/Relapse. At the same time Beck, Sonic Youth and most recently Faust have all hand picked Masonna to open for their Japanese appearances. Frequency L.S.D. is highlighted by tripped out tonal works intertwined within its overall chaos, giving it a much different feel than past efforts" (ÉlectrO-CD)
