Miniatures
LP $27.35

TBD  

GS 34 


***An almost impossible to imagine archive of underground DIY sounds from Japan dating 1979-1981. Inspired by the UK compilation album of the same name released in 1980 by Morgan Fisher, a one time member of Mott The Hoople, which features “miniature” works by an incredibly diverse group of 50 cutting edge artists from Half Japanese, to The Residents, to Robert Fripp of King Crimson, to Dave Vanian of the Damned. This Japanese homage to “Miniatures” was curated and released by the cult teenage punk band Die Owan, from Osaka in 1981. Feeling inspired, they wanted to make their own version with current and cutting edge Japanese artists. Unable to find 50 artists suitable for the compilation, they took it upon themselves to fabricate multiple different bands to flesh out the album in its entirety. Musically you'll find Punk, Post Punk, early Industrial, and experimental avant garde sounds on this record, and due to the nature of this project, many of the bands are found ONLY on this compilation. An incredible time capsule of urgent creativity, and a great snapshot into the diversity of Die Owan’s XA Record label.
