about

The original cassette tape was released only a few copies on Kawabata's R.E.P. (Revolutionary Extrication Project) in 1980, then re-issued on a 10 CDR box set entitled “Makoto Kawabata early works 1978-1981” in 2000. (Afterward, this 10 CDR box was changed to the 11 CDR + 1CD box.)
It was reissued on vinyl by Italian QBICO Records in 2002.

"Our first release after changing the name of the band from the Dark Revolutionary Collective to Baroque Bordello. With our concept of restoring the independence that music possesses in and of itself, we began composing and playing in an improvised idiom that refused to be tied to any pre-existing style. As the synthesizer was still the only instrument that we owned, we were forced to build the other instruments ourselves. The A-side of the tape was made up of performances on these homemade instruments. The B-side was an electronic soundtrack for aerobics, incorporating some doubtless Pink Floyd-inspired sound effects. There was also a piece for guitar and cable noise. Both sides sounded very weird” – Makoto Kawabata (2002)
