Label: Elevator Bath

Test pressing of Masami Akita's "Wattle" LP. This is a picture disc LP but the graphics on both sides of the record are plain white with a blue line through the center. Record comes in a poly-lined paper sleeve with an information sticker from the pressing plant adhered to the front bottom right corner. A sticker with name and title (the same sticker found on the regular LP edition) is adhered to the front top left corner. The back of the sleeve has been stamped with an Elevator Bath logo and is hand-numbered. This sleeve is inside a clear PVC sleeve with a flap, which is then inside another clear protective sleeve. Only 5 copies exist.

"Wattle" is a new, two-part composition featuring Akita's traditional soup of unidentifiable metallic clanging, crushing feedback, jagged white noise, and various effects. It does not disappoint. There are no drums, no guitars, no vocals; just scorching electronic mayhem of the highest quality.
