This 80's Japanese outfit (featuring Kimitaka Matsumae of Constance Towers/Space Ponch, who released a CD on Jim O'Rourke's Mokai label in 2000, as well as being featured on the seminal 1989 CD compilation "Drive To Heaven, Welcome To Chaos") sits very snugly next to the previously posted Picky Picnic as an exemplary model of musical enlightenment through the detournment of good cheer. One part corrupted children's video game soundtrack, one part post-Zappa convolution as refracted through an occidental lens (ala Tipographica) both colliding unceremoniously and falling down a rabbit hole. Your cheeks will ache from grinning so much...
Get it Here
I've downloaded this 3 different times and have tried 2 different extractors to no avail. At least I've got Picky Picnic to cheer me up!
ReplyDeleteOh my.
ReplyDeleteUntil now, you folks were kind of intriguing and worth a daily visit.
Now, with EXPO and Picky Picnic, you have opened a dreamland of forgotten desires.
Hmmmm...dunno what's causing that to happen on your end Scott, as both Matt and I had no difficulty in downloading Expo once it was posted here...
ReplyDeleteI can just say, wow.
ReplyDeletehi,
ReplyDeletesuperb post. great to see expo offered anywhere.
unfortunately, i'm experiencing difficulty in unpacking the archive file. two downloads, and one consistent message:
"the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
could you at least check the zip file to confirm? i've downloaded the 400 million-odd previous posts without incident, and my concerns are not entirely misplaced.
many thanks for everything!
simple solution applied, case successfully closed. i renamed the zip "expo," et voila.
ReplyDeletej-h
thanks jean-herve, worked for me too.
ReplyDeleteso much stuff, so much marvellous music, geez!
ReplyDeleteit doesn't come too often that i have something which you post or mention here - which is meant as a compliment of course, and not a complaint whatsoever!!
since the "drive to heaven, welcome to chaos" is (WHAT I THINK!) not a very widely known compilation, feel free to use my post+link of this same cd on your blog:

Would you happen to have a translated tracklist for this Expo record?
ReplyDeleteTrack 10 isn't missing- the track numbers are just incorrectly tagged...

Yes, please repost - I've just fallen in love with space ponch and matsumae!

ReplyDeleteThe title of this excellent album is not "Do the Expo" as much as I understand, but Expo no Bankoku Daisenrayku (エキスポの万国大戦略) wich means something like "Expo's strategy for the whole world", don't ask me more!
