SHAKUHACHI SURPRISE - SPACE STREAKINGS SIGHTED OVER MOUNT SHASTA


1996, Skin Graft

This is a wild ride.
Chicago, Illinois' Mount Shasta collaborated with Japanese punk/techno/noise quartet Space Streakings and produced this monolith of a record. While it does recall the sound and approach of both bands the result here is something else altogether. It's cartoonish and disorienting, hilarious and pummeling; it absolutely rocks and is positively weird, and it's an enjoyable tour de force from beginning to end.
Kinda makes me think of a cross between Devo and Ministry and it does in places remind me of Last Temptation of Reid era LARD.
However, this is very much it's own creation.

Enjoy.
