Airway/Hijokaidan
The Lowest Form of Music 2xCD
Helicopter/Troniks
A powerhouse pairing of pioneering ensembles of improvised music! Los Angeles Free Music Society titans Airway and Japanese icons Hijokaidan energetically tear through two discs of boundary-pushing movement, raucously combining free improv experiments and sonic daggers with feral roar and pounding percussion. Disc one features the legendary live performances by each group recorded at The Lowest Form of Music weekend in London, 2010. Disc two reissues the split record originally released on Harbinger Sound to celebrate the festival, featuring performances from 2009 by Airway in New York and Hijokaidan in Tokyo. Carefully mastered by John Wiese and packaged in an attractive six panel digipak featuring liner notes by Takuya Sakaguchi in Japanese and English.

The title of this cassette is great, thought provoking and blackly comic bit of alliteration right there. The tracks themselves are no less intriguing either. My personal impression of these four string based improvised (I'm assuming) pieces is that of living sound that somehow escaped the confines of their respective instruments, instinctively and warily calling to someone recording their own noisy and fully independent emanations. Pretty awesome, if you ask me. Ben Harris

Bought the tape then the record, now bought the digital. This album has been the soundtrack to much debauchery. "Hang Em Hiiiiiiii!!!" is one of few songs I will listen to on repeat. Snake Plant Paul
