MASONNA

LP (Uma145) - URASHIMA RELEASES

Limited Edition 299 copies

Cascades of electronic noise, a psychedelic touch and vocal belching mixed together constitute the ingredients of Mademoiselle Anne Sanglante Ou Notre Nymphomanie Auréolé, the double-barreled name for Masonna.
Maso Yamazaki founded his project in 1987, with a charismatic and glamorous personality who become a cult figure in “Japanoise” scene.
Masonna’s abundant productions on his own legendary and astonishing label Coquette were presented in very limited edition, sometime totally confidential (one sole copy), and reflect his predilection for 60’s psychedelic music revisited in its own very peculiar way.
He transforms his voice into noise, feeding the microphone back through a process of extreme distortion.
His shouts become clipped bursts of overloaded sound, doubled and extended by a delay that displace the sounds into stuttered blasts of static.
Freak is an ultra-rare cassette originally released in 1995 by Coquette in an edition of 36 copies in a special gold paper and now return for the first time in a flabbergasting vinyl format fully remastered.
This mature work is very brash, earsplitting and mad.
The distortion and effects on the vocals are top notch, they in combination with his awesome screaming create a complete audio assault.
Sometimes pleading sobs are heard.
And they are all, regularly, philologically broken, retouched, stiffened and they mingle in the vortex.
Or at most they come back to be slaughtered a little more only to be thrown back again, finally in the centrifuge.
Everything is scraped, fast and beautiful and focuses an electrically overcharged universe, punctuating the thrilling and vocal sonorous power with some quite moments and brief interruptions, conferring a very particular dynamic to this work.

Originally released as single side C30 cassette, this vinyl edition divided into two parts of about fifteen minutes each.
Limited edition of 299 copies, includes A3 size poster with Masonna in “action pose”.
