From the buzzworthy Tokyo-based label CALAX RECORDS comes a reissue project devoted to German experimental artists SIEGMAR FRICKE and A THUNDER ORCHESTRA, who were putting out DIY releases on cassette and other formats from the '80s into the '90s. The original release, "Energy Is Eternal Delight," came out on cassette in 1990 via the Portuguese tape label SPH. Reissued here as a 2LP with previously unreleased material added.

A reissue of superb material by Belgian and German artists — tape music made with rhythm machines, synths and samplers — from the '90s, when DIY experimental music using the cassette as its medium was springing up all over the world. Siegmar Fricke is an artist who, inspired by musique concrète and DIY industrial music, has been releasing cassettes since 1987. A THUNDER ORCHESTRA is an artist known for "Diabolical Gesture," picked up by both Prins Thomas and Marcel Dettmann, whose sound leads into Belgian new beat and EBM. Their split cassette, originally released on SPH in 1990, gets a remastered reissue. The carefully constructed sound world and vision here are astonishing. Labels coming out of Japan are getting really interesting! (Original Japanese text by Saito)
