#N/A (Nisennenmondai with Adrian Sherwood): 2CD

#N/A (literally, Nisennenmondai with Adrian Sherwood) is anew studio album which sees cult Japanese trioNisennenmondai filtering their epic motorik jams through themixing desk of the legendary dub producer.

Nisennenmondai are three girls from Tokyo, Sayaka Himeno(drums), Yuri Zaikawa (bass) and Masako Takada (guitar), whohave been playing instrumental music together since 1999.From their initial beginnings as a noisy no wave band openlyreferencing influences such as Sonic Youth, DNA and This Heat,they have since honed and streamlined their sound into a moreminimalistic pulse with an emphasis on the hypnotic possibilitiesof repetition, creating a sound that can be likened to organictechno.

Recording their new album with Sherwood has resulted in theband sounding bigger than ever before, with a greateremphasis on small rhythmic details and subtle dub touches,reminiscent in places of the classic Basic Channel sound.

This international edition of the album includes two bonus livedub mixes. Whilst Adrian showed considerable restraint in hisproduction job on the studio album, on a subsequent live dateat Tokyos Unit club he was recorded deploying a wild array ofFX tricks, dropping in splashes of cavernous reverb and spaceecho delay to the performance of two pieces from the bandsprevious album N.
