about

CD/LP available directly from Imprec.com

Basement Echo is the historical meeting point of two generations of the Japanese underground. Kawabata Makoto, leader of The Acid Mothers Temple, and Michishita Shinsuke, leader of LSD March, are together here for the first time in a guitar duo. Though Kawabata and Michishita are from the same scene, the fact that they are from different generation means that they bring different energy to the collaborations. This fact is extremely exciting for Kawabata, who refers to Michishita as "one of the most promising musicians in the Japanese Underground."

Both artists agree that Basement Echo was a step into the unknown with neither really knowing what the resulting sounds would be.

For Michishita the collaborations have been a dream come true. He describes Kawabata as having a "soul of rock that never burns out." After the recordings were complete the two friends sat down and raised a triumphant toast. Recorded at Snowflake Sound in Sapporo in October of 2007. Totally improvised with no editing/overdubbing. Designed by Darryl Norsen.

The character conveyed most often in Important releases isn't style but substance, with a personal and emotional depth that makes the label easy to understand but difficult to explain.
