(piano solo & homeless interview piano recording by juntaro yamanounchi)

endless humiliation review

endless humiliation one of the most eerie and haunting pieces of music juntaro ever bothered recording. this is probably one of the gerogerigegege's most unique albums available to music consumers and its even easier to get into than a merzbow cd. as the given description from the liner notes has already mentioned, the entire cd is pretty much just a field recording of a drunk homeless japanese man rambling over the sounds of an incredibly distant piano. probably the quietest work done by the group, its often thought to have been either a long winded work of social commentary or a piece of music that juntaro created for or about his mother, who was supposedly a rather famous japanese classical pianist. the cd has wonderful cover art consisting of 2 paragraphs written in japanese next to a black and white photograph taken by juntaro of 2 little kids wearing rabbit masks in some village. the back has a picture of a horse. ??? the cd is very relaxing and equally unnerving at the same time. fairly decent production, but nothing to write home about. closest thing to 'uneasy' listening you can get. put out by japan overseas 1994.
