about

(Auschwitz is the band name given to express their view on life. It has no connection to Nazism or racism and is not intended to discriminate or degrade any race, group, or individual.)

We are releasing a cassette of 87 minutes of previously unreleased live recordings by Auschwitz. The great band formed by the godfather of the Kansai Underground Naoto Hayashi, has marked 20 years since his passed away.

Side A: Live 81 consists of all unreleased tracks recorded from an exceptional live performance on the unknown date in 1981 and FRIGHT 7 DAYS in August of the same year. The early Auschwitz music is mostly unheard of until now, despite the buzz about impromptu performances featuring free-form guitar intertwined over repetitive beats like German rock, and it finally appears in the spotlight. This showcases that Auschwitz delivered an extremely cutting-edge live performance, similar to the post-punk style that flourished in Europe and the United States during the same period. Some tracks feature vocals by bassist Imanishi and drummer Nakajima and a glimpse of Hayashi’s side as a guitarist. It is a valuable testament to how Auschwitz was born through the chemistry of the musical expertise of these three artists.

Side B: Live 87-93 is a compilation of Auschwitz’s last live performance in Tokyo in 1993, a live performance at EGGPLANT in April 1987 just before the recording of their masterpiece “Rule of Spirit,” and a high-quality live performance from an unknown date, most likely around 1990. Starting with the far too beautiful “Journey Through the Night” in their last live performance, it mainly features songs and versions unavailable on previous live recordings, including the unreleased masterpiece “Ashes of Love” mentioned in the liner notes. Finally, it concludes with the latest track, “No Titled,” which was accessible to listen to Naoto Hayashi’s solo version on the Auschwitz Complete Box.

(Auschwitzというバンド名は彼らの人生観を表すためにつけられたもので、ナチズムや差別主義とは関係はなく、いかなる人種、団体、人物を差別、劣化する意図はありません。)

没後20年を迎えた関西アンダーグラウンドのゴッドファーザー林直人の偉大なバンドAuschwitzの87分に及ぶ未発表ライブ音源を集成しカセットリリースいたします。

A面 Live 81はすべて未発表曲で81年日付不明の驚くべき高音質ライブと8月FRIGHT 7 DAYSから収録。
ジャーマンロックのような反復ビートにフリーフォームなギターが絡む即興演奏と語られながら、今までほとんど聴くことができなかった初期Auschwitzの姿がついに白日の下に現れ、同時代に欧米で勃興していたポストパンクにも接近する極めて先鋭的なライブを披露していたことが確認できる。
ベースの今西、ドラムの中島がボーカルを務める曲もあり、林のギタリストとしての一面も垣間見え、Auschwitzがこの三人の音楽的な素養の化学反応によって生まれたことを示唆する非常に貴重な記録となっている。

B面 Live 87-93は93年東京でのAuschwitz名義ラストライブ、名作「Rule of Spirit」録音直前の87年4月EGGPLANT、日付不明の非常にクオリティの高い90年頃と思われる超高音質ライブからコンパイル。
ラストライブでのあまりにも美しいJourney Through The Nightから始まり、これまでのライブ盤では聴けなかった楽曲やバージョンを中心に選曲され、ライナーなどで語られていた未発表の名曲Ashes of Loveも収録。
そして、Auschwitz Boxで林直人ソロバージョンを聴くことができた最後期の曲no titleで締めくくります。
