I got this via PM, but might as well reply on public part of forum if it interests other people too.

Thank you for the exceptional podcast episodes on noise from Japan.
I would greatly appreciate any info you'd be willing to give or tell about the following:
-Taichi, how many tapes did 'release', or how many do you know about? any info about Blind would be appreciated.
-Love and Sincerity, I couldn't hear when you said the title of the tape, what is it? Any info on it would be appreciated (line up, year, length, tracks etc)? Did they do any other tapes?
-Colloid, wow I wasn't aware of this promo-tape, was the lineup Orihara, Nagamori and Yokota? Does the tape have a title? length?
-Peeping Tom, you mentioned that it was the first tape, how many did they do? what's the title of the tape? Is it on Freckle? Any more info about it and them would be greatly appreciated. Did they release other tapes on Freckle or was it all outside of that label? Discogs info has me confused about Sewage and Freckle. I thought Sewage and owner of Freckle was Kazuki Masaki, but discogs credit Sewage to Hiroshi Kazuki. Is it the same person? Or brothers? I know thread on SI mentions "P-Tom brothers", is P-Tom two guys that are brothers? I think Freckle did 19-20 releases? I don't know what #1, 4, 10, 14 & 15 was. Did the tape you play come out as Freckle 01? I know #02 Sewage/Robochanman and #03 The Day Comes Laughing You came out as tapes first and then CDR.
Taichi, I could only located now "Blind" and "Sister album" tapes. I should have some more, but collection is quite a mess.. Taichi can be still contacted somehow from here:
https://cemment.wordpress.comHe updates his metal band website still today using "taichicemment" name. IF someone could convince him to dig up his old master tapes and put out some re-issues, I'm sure they could be worth it!
Love and Sincerity, tape on vanilla records:
https://www.discogs.com/愛と誠-2911991-Live-In-Woody/release/1463874Track on Come Again II compilation is basically remix of this material. Taking clips from various songs and putting it together. You can easily hear the fragments of that "Holy Screaming" song originates from this song. Just as some other Come Again II songs are clips from Vanilla Records tapes - like Solmania for example. Just insanely the editor had ear to pick up the greatest 2 minutes of Solmania tape into Come Again II. You will recognize it instantly when it appears in middle of side on that tape.
Colloid promo 1994 was Natural Apathy Organization, nact-006. I don't remember if it has line-up info, but as I got it back then from Kei Yokota, I would think he was in that line-up. It does have cover and all, just couldn't see the tape in shelves right now.
I also have some Colloid live material, that I do not know if it was ever actually released? Just something that Yokota sent me when project was active. It is possible I may do more "obscure Japanese stuff" episodes, since there are really some goodies like this. I came across advance promo tape sent by guy of Building of Gel, that had BOG / Mo-Te collaboration song. I never heard such releases would have been made, but tracks is really solid harshness. Also projects like MDM, Cry Havoc, and countless more have not been played...
Peeping tom, I have tapes called "volume 1" and "Dozens champion". Both are short, c-10 tapes! If someone could get in touch with the guy(s) for reissue, I suppose c-30 would be enough. There is at least one compilation track on Self Abuse side label: V/A "Solipsism 44" CDR.
Indeed, discogs info is slightly strange. As far as I understood, guy(s) involved with Freckle was... brothers? One doing Sewage, both in Peeping Tom? As Peeping Tom members are credited to be "Peeping H" (Hiroshi Kazuki?) and "Peeping K " (Kazuki Masaki?)... no facts, just assumption. Maybe someone like SODDY would know better as he did some worth on Freckle..?
Peeping Tom tapes do not have catalogue numbers or mention Freckle, but they do list same address on cover that was Freckle address.
