R.N.A. Organism: R.N.A.O Meets P.O.P.O LP

Deluxe, fully authorized reissue of R.N.A. Organism's "R.N.A.O Meets P.O.P.O" (first released by the Osaka label Vanity Records in 1980). A key document of the late 1970s experimental music scene in Kansai, Japan, "R.N.A.O Meets P.O.P.O" is a hallucinatory trip of dubby bass, churning guitars, sputtering rhythm boxes, twisted vocals, and unidentifiable sound effects. Produced by experimental music lifer Kaoru Sato (EP-4), R.N.A. Organism was a mysterious Kyoto trio known only by their aliases - 0123, Chance, and Zero. They never performed live, and instead sent prerecorded tapes to venues for playback. Remastered by Stephan Mathieu from brand new transfers of the original reel-to-reel tapes, cut by Josh Bonati, pressed by RTI, and housed in a hefty Stoughton tip-on sleeve, this edition also includes an expanded insert with an illuminating essay by producer Kaoru Sato.
