The first release from Japanese musician Yoshiteru Himuro on Milwaukee–based Zod Records is a compact and fun collection of tracks denoting a vivid imagination and fascination for fast-moving exchanges. Cramming nine tracks in just a little over thirty minutes, Himuro manages to create an impressive soundtrack found somewhere between video games, adult Manga and hyperactive electronica.
Hailing from the Japanese city of Fukuoka, situated in the South of the country, Yoshiteru Himuro began experimenting with electronic music toward the end of the nineties. His first release came in the shape of the Nice Feedback EP in early 1998, and was rapidly followed by an album, Nichiyobi, both published on London’s Worm Interface. Himuro returned a year later with Latest Gorgeous Energy, an album recorded with fellow Japanese musician Koichi, before seemingly disappearing following the demise of the label. Almost five years on, Himuro re-emerged on Australian label Couchblip with his third album, Clear Without Item.
Mild Fantasy Violence very much follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, showcasing Himuro’s dense and busy electronica. Influenced by anything from 8bit video games and hip-hop to acid house and contemporary electronica, Himuro creates here the flamboyant soundtrack to an imaginary computer generated movie. Built around heavy beat patterns, quirky electronic sounds and tortured noises, Mild Fantasy Violence is actually bursting with melodies and atmospheres. With tracks clocking at between three and four-and-a-half minutes, there is no time wasted in presentation here. Each track is developed from an staggering amount of minute sonic particles, incorporating treated vocals and guitars, interferences and glitches, and compressed to its most substantial form, allowing for melodies to take shape and evolve out of Himuro’s sonic junk................

Although his soundscapes are incredibly dense and compact, his compositions are not as hectic as they might seem. The album opens with the uplifting My Beats Your Beats, on which Himuro wraps up a hip-hop-infused beat structure in layers of abrasive noises and distinctive electronic tones. Mild Fantasy Violence, Button Of Reset, Organs Go Out and Sunrise Sunset all evolve around similar themes, yet each track shows a different angle, from the chaotic Button Of Reset to the more subtle title track.
Elsewhere, Himuro explores more gentle and, at times melancholic, atmospheric grounds. The twin tracks Eat All and The Cracks In Your Monita especially show impressive control and maturity. These provide welcome breaks in between the more energetic compositions and help keep this album on track, cleverly avoiding sonic overdose.
4/5

Shex is a half-woman, one of the main artists of 19-t. He is casually from Kyoto, he dropped a full album last summer, he doesn't like to be a sales man of a garage love. 19-t isolated him from the society, presented him a brand new manshion for track making. He now starts getting more violent day by day but without any violences. Shex doesn't play live by himself. He normally plays live as 'New Shinsekai' which is a band, with some more people, using lots of instruments, equipments, dancers and the solar systems for making his own world.

he's released on the japanese label 19-t. he's a japanese guy. check your shex on discogs, but to check the 19-t page in english you'll have to go to the label site and select english.
more importantly, shex does not want to be a sales man of garage love. let's just get that clear from the getgo.
