Keiji Haino / Fushitsusha / and everything else Haino related

[chryptusrecords]

one of my favorites from Haino is the scarce project called NIJIUMU, not the Haino album of the same name but the full band with Nanjo from La Musica. The album "Era of Sad Wings" is incredible, quiet and dismal music, the sort of stuff that suffers from getting lumped in with "dark ambient," closer to the so-called "isolationism" of that time period.

This should definitely be linked to the PSF thread, but that's Zeno's niche not mine so...

Agreed a very good project and getting lumped in with dark ambient maybe because there isn't quite a specific genre for more plainly acoustic-string-driven ambient spirals that sometimes court vague ritual flavors and sometimes court ill-repentant grating industrial strains, if at muted remove. Which could describe a good chunk of the Haino and PSF adjacent.

Was sorta pondering this just the other day when I randomly pulled out the Blazen Y Sharp tape on Self Abuse. Would I think snugly fit the "genre". And by snugly I mean, "done right".
