about

A repackaged and remastered 3CD set that compiles three of Diesel Guitar's key 90's works: "Maria" (1995), "Medium of Lights" (1996), and "Assimilation" (1999). "Medium of Lights" and "Assimilation" have always been particularly hard to track down, both having been released in very limited editions.

"On the reissue of these three cassette works"
By Youki Noseyama
"Maria" (1995), "Medium of Lights" (1996) and "Assimilation" (1999) were a three-part solo work, where the album and track titles were deliberately designed to overlap and resonate with each other. Since the release of my first CD in 2002, I have concentrated on drone performance, so these three works record the final manifestation of the guitar amp feedback approach I used before. "Maria" was released by the Kyoto label G.R.O.S.S. in an edition of 120, but I released the other two works myself and they saw virtually no distribution. For a long time it has been difficult to hear my process prior to my first CD, so I am really grateful to be able to make these three works available again.

Diesel Guitar名義で発表された90年代制作の極めて重要な3部作、95年[Maria]、96年[Medium of Lights]、99年[Assimilation]を全曲リマスター、3CDセット版として新装復刻。特に[Medium of Lights]、[Assimilation]は非常に入手困難とされてきた希少物件。

●カセット3部作復刻に当たって - 能勢山陽生
"Maria -1995"、"Medium of Lights -1996"、"Assimilation -1999"はそれぞれの曲名やタイトルを意図的に重複させ、関連性を持たせたソロ3部作である。2002年発表の1stCD以降は、一貫して持続音の演奏を行なっているが、それ以前のギターアンプのフィードバックを使用した演奏の最終形態がこの3作に記録されている。"Maria -1995"は京都のレーベルGROSSより120本でリリースされたが、他2作は自主制作で殆ど流通しておらず、1st CDに至る過程が長らく欠けた状態であった。この度の3作復刻でその過程を補うことが出来大変ありがたく感謝している。

I cannot praise this album enough. This album is absolutely terrifying! The many starts and stops creates this very h settling tension. Each start expands on the stopper idea previously. It’s like the music equivalent of walking through thick fog while passing out multiple times throughout trying to find a place to orientate yourself. There may or may not be something sinister in that fog, but you don’t want to stick around to find out. Bought the vinyl so I summon the fog demons through spe showhornwithteeth
