Listening to KK/S.I.V. split 7" on Cipher and while I don't think it's absolute best Kazuma Kubota works, it's really good. Same could be said about Atrocity of Sunrises track by SELF-INFLICTED VIOLENCE. Both take technologically advanced harsh noise cut up to whole new level. I guess thanks to computer technology, cutting, layering, editing and so on, allows much advanced possibilities compared to times when one operated with cutting tape or pause button. However, both of these sound somehow natural and extremely well flowing. Perhaps on this split SIV is actually even better!
I'm kind of amazed by two things: Lack of comments found about Kubota's full length CD, but at the same time that also I personally haven't seen or heard that CD. Remember trying to ask wholesale deal from label, but transaction was never completed. So who heard it? Impressions. I browsed through forum for some KK related comments......
Quote from: FreakAnimalFinlandKazuma Kubota 3"CDR on that label is absolutely brain-meltingly well done release. Too bad it's cdr's..

Cutup. Start Stop noise with a great flow and sense of emotion/tension. Slow synth, gently guitar flow and consume synth walls and crashing destruction. A full and detailed trip into well planned, cut up energy from Japan. Includes hidden bonus tracks......Well at least unlisted..... A must have for the ones you love.

Quote from: Scat-O-logyThe new Kazuma Kubota album is freaking awesome. I was a little horrified when I read about its over one hour long playtime but there's so many twist and turns that I enjoyed every single minute of it.
Quote from: Cipher(sic 68) Kazuma Kubota & Self-Inflicted Violence 7"
Split 7" vinyl pairing Japan's Kazuma Kubota with Poland's [s.i.v.]. Kazuma approaches softly, opening with light layers of sound, before obliterating them with his increasingly dextrous atack of high-energy, volatile-spliced harsh electronics. Self-Inflicted Violence trumps the pummel of his recent CDR on Somnolent Shelter to push forward a dervish of stop-and-go electronics and junk elements, hesitant at first before riding on its own urgency. Co-released with Underground Pollution. Limited to 150 copies, of which I have far less than half.
To me this relatively new Japanese artists has been able to create far advanced material than many artists who without doubt have been his influences. I urge to give it a try if you have hesitated. Certainly much more recommended choice than latest efforts of many noise veterans!
