The Sexual: Discography 12"  euro import      Discography release from this 80s Japanese punk band.

Our take: Well done fan club release for this 80s Japanese punk band. This is essentially a vinyl version of the official discography that was released in 2002 (and, like a lot of discography CDs of 80s Japanese punk bands, is now quite expensive and hard to find)? it sounds like the audio might have been sourced from that CD as well, because the sound here is clear, bright, and powerful. My obsession with 80s Japanese punk and hardcore is well documented, and the Sexual are, without a doubt, a key band. While they?re not quite as weird or as artsy as many of the bands on the ADK Records roster, what they lack in artsiness they more than make up in raw brutality, clearly pointing toward the increasingly brutal, heavy, and raw direction that the Japanese hardcore scene was heading toward. In other words, you can file the Sexual?s releases right next to bands like the Execute, Zouo, and G.I.S.M., all of whom (along with the Sexual) were incorporating elements of metal and Discharge?s approach into the classic Japanese punk template. There are songs here that are nearly as brutal as Confuse, but there are also songs here that have the bouncy catchiness of the Stalin. There isn?t a dud among the bunch, and if you?re not trying to drop several hundred dollars on near-mint copies of their original two flexis I can?t recommend this comp highly enough? hell, even if you have those, the strong sound reproduction here might even be better than the original flexis (unfortunately I don?t have originals of these to compare). An essential piece of the puzzle for Japanese punk fanatics.    About Sorry State: We ship every day! Most items ship within 24 hours. Records should be on the color of vinyl pictured.
