Cassette tape only. No digital release.

We are pleased to announce the release of Naoki Zushi "EXPEREMENT MUSIC O.C.O." In 1979, around the time Naoki Zushi joined Hijokaidan, he brought two demo tapes "EXPEREMENT MUSIC O.C.O." one at a time to Drugstore, an ignition point of the Kansai underground at that time. The existence of these demo tapes was mentioned in interviews with G-Modern and others, but only a limited number of people have been able to listen to them, and although Zushi himself modestly describes them as "imitations and a little originality," they contain a variety of songs that are the raw stones for the subsequent 1st to 4th albums. Also includes two takes of the original version of "For My Friends' Sleep," and intense guitar improvisation that is an important missing link considering the early Hijokaidan. We decided that there was no need for excessive embellishment, so the sleeve design is based on Zushi's handwritten notes on the master tape, which was digitized by Nakamichi Dragon with minimal noise reduction and no mastering at all, thus perfectly reproducing the master tape from that time. We are convinced that the quality of songs is incredible for a 19-year-old Zushi, who recorded it at home in a small student apartment at the time, and that it is a work of his original landscape.

頭士奈生樹さんが非常階段(Hijokaidan)に参加する前後の1979年に、当時の関西アンダーグラウンドの発火点どらっぐすとぅあに一本づつ持ち込んだのみという2本のデモテープ「EXPEREMENT MUSIC O.C.O.」を発売いたします。

G-Modernなどのインタビューでこのデモテープの存在は言及されていましたが、これまでごく限られた人のみが聴くことができた音源で、頭士さん自身は「模倣と少々の独自性」とご謙遜されていますが、この後の1stから4thアルバムの原石のような様々な曲が収録され、さらには初期非常階段（Hijokaidan）の重要なミッシングリンクといえる激しいギターインプロビゼーション、「For My Friends' Sleep」のオリジナルバージョンが2テイク収録。
この音源に過剰な装飾は不要と判断した我々はスリーブデザインはマスターテープの頭士さんの手書きの書き込みをそのまま使用、Nakamichi Dragonでデジタル化し最小限のノイズ除去のみでマスタリングは一切せず、当時のマスターテープを完全再現しました。
当時、19歳だった頭士さんが4畳半の学生アパートで宅録した音源とは信じがたいクオリティで、頭士さんの原風景の作品だと確信しています。
