Bleep

Frank Maier’s Vinyl On Demand, an imprint which specialises in bringing back to life some of the 1970s and 1980s’ finest in weird, limited run avant-garde, synth and industrial records, put together a stellar collection with Vanity Box Vol. 2. The set consists of four distinct LPs by Japanese musical innovators — Dada, Morio Agata, Normal Brain and R.N.A. Organism — and showcases the fertile ground caught between industrial electronics, prog rock, and avant-garde production. This is to say, each record is an out-there exercise in bizarre sonics performed by masters of the art, at once recalling Nurse With Wound, Kraftwerk and ELP.
