CASINO VERSUS JAPAN - Hitori + Kaiso: 1998 - 2001 on attacknine records, same label as freescha in the us. there's also a 7" split on a new label called "frank wobbly and sons," a new track by casino vs japan called "silver and gold" on one side and "64 colors" from am-boy's debut album "floridian." limited to 250 copies, i think... am-boy is reminiscent of boc, cvsj, freescha as well, but leans more towards the lofi. recommended. |

thanks PLAID...I love this group...nice...got a tracklisting by chance |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no track listing, but the write up at www.darlashop.com says: "Casino Versus Japan's fourth full length release, brings together 30 previously unreleased tracks from Milwaukee's Erik Kowalski, on California's Attacknine Records." so this release is a collection of older material. i wish there was a rerelease of the first album. i think there will also be an album of brand new material this fall... |

i never really enjoyed casino vs japan. for those looking for very ambient music it is still a recommendation worth though. |

i wouldn't consider cvsj ambient, really, any more than i would consider boc ambient. though he's been called a ripoff of boc, i think that's a lazy mischaracterization typical of review sites such as pitchfork. what makes cvsj so special is his instantly recognizable and individual sound. it won't please the people that like very technical music, but if you like sparkling, pulsating melodies with soft beats then you will be more than pleased. it's very warm, tactile, sensual and sometimes playful music. sample his album "whole numbers play the basics" for a taste. |

I have both FEW 001 and FEW 002. the 1st one is great, awesome CVSJ track. few 002 blows donkey nuts. its like indie rock! way different than signaldrifts other stuff. ULTRA limited stuff. its a series of 6 45's, each limited to 250 copies. |

those are some tracks off of "whole numbers play the basics" |
||||||||
|
|

i have go hawaii and whole numbers play the basics. i have no idea what any tracks are called on these two albums. in fact i am terrible with track names in general. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Great album - the cover art really describes the sound visually - flecks of paint floating in space jelly around and between dali monkey bars. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Er the cover of whole numbers to be precise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can i get this new album online somewhere? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i almost forgot about ordering this. hopefully it is still available as in 'whole numbers play the basics' |
||||||||
|

i ordered the new cvsj album from darlashop twelve days ago, since that seemed the most cost effective domestic option (the attacknine site wasn't working at the time), and although darla says that priority mail should arrive in 2-4 days, i still haven't gotten the cd. i wouldn't recommend darlashop to anyone, a few years ago they took my payment for an order, then told me that one of my items was out of stock but kept the money and would not return the money. then they stopped replying to my email inquiries. maybe i shouldn't have ended the boycott... |

i think they are just really slow. i ordered it about five days ago from darlashop (thank you for the info by the way on where to get it) and they haven't even taken the money out yet for it. i work at a bank where my accounts are at so i can check daily to see if things have gone through. that's pretty crap though that they took your money. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

i finally got the album, apparently it was mispressed initially (no explanation of what the problem was tho) and delayed for that reason. of course, darla didn't communicate this to me until i emailed asking where my order was. anyway, if you get the album you'll find that disc A (printed on the disc itself) is disc two (as printed on the sleeve) and disc B is disc one. as you might expect the music sounds mostly like lesser tracks, experiments, outtakes and such from 1998-2001, nothing especially great but if you like cvsj you will probably like it. not nearly as good as "whole numbers play the basics" but it's been growing on me... |

funny how they'll play cvsj on mtv, but only as background in a promo or something. fortunately, i don't receive mtv. i like the sound of that promo though. like father, like son: one term! |

i got the new double cd this week too. its really good. what would people class as the best casino vs japan release? xxx |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for me it would be go hawaii by far |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the best cvsj, in my opinion, is "whole numbers play the basics." btw, the cvsj/freescha split cd was just released on wobblyhead... i think it's coming out on vinyl, too... |
