Omega Point japanese obscure tape music

[FreakAnimalFinland]

Anyone have experience / recommendations of Omega Point titles? They seem to be quite expensive, around 25-28$ type of prices. I only have some old limited LP. Curious of their releases and once been in their shop, but never invested in their other releases..

Huh, you can actually find for example Yoshi Wada stuff in ubuweb. Damn what a great bag pipe/organ drone. Herman Nitch organ drones are like utter crap compared to this bliss...

Yoshi Wada is great. Found "Off the wall" in Berlin for 18€. (Sold it for 200$ later though...need to get the cd.)

Have most of the CD's. As expected stylistic scope is fairly wide but generally interesting stuff and nicely made releases. It is a while since been listening to those but for what I can remember, Ichiyanagi's "Music for Tinguely" being a favorite (esp. for the noisy synth piece on it) along with some of the Yuasa discs, need to revisit these soon.

And Wada's drone works (meaning all others except "Appointed by Cloud") are essential! Deep, heavy, rich, slow...what more could ask!

Any impressions of the Agencement release?

You can't go wrong with any of the Obscure Tape series but particularly I recommend Vol.9: Drip Music by Toshi Ichiyanagi which comes with a short manga by Yoji Kuri. Its pretty short if I remember rightly but its one of the best Japanese electronic pieces I've heard from the mid-70's.

Well, mentioned in other topic there needs to be Omega Point topic on SI. Well, I forgot there was one, started 6 years ago. Further recommendations are still welcomed!
