Niitsu Akio: I/O (Japan Import) Vinyl LP

"Akio Niitsu's first album, I/O(i･o) released in 1978, was produced in a homemade studio that had been converted from a storeroom in his home, and he spent three years doing everything from composition to engineering by himself, using overdubbed guitar recordings. Akio Niitsu's first analog re-release has been decided. As a guitar multi-recording album, the idea was realized six years earlier than the album E2-E4 released in 1984 by Manuel Göttsching, the central figure of Ash La Tempel, but it was too early. A hidden experimental/ambient gem! The paradoxical sound that makes you feel as if you are lost deep in a labyrinthine forest, combined with Tadanori Yokoo's artwork, is a piece that allows you to enjoy Akio Niitsu's worldview with your ears and eyes." - Tokuma Japan Communications first vinyl reissue of rare Japanese ambient/experimental album black vinyl pressing high-quality Japan import limited edition original release year: 1978 music label: Tokuma Japan Communications 2024
