about

Ankoku Kakumei Kyodotai is Kawabata's first group that was formed in 1978. This is Kawabata's first studio recordings in his carrier. Ankoku Kakumei Kyodotai is just an initial impulse even there wasn't instruments like guitar, bass or drums. 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.). This digital album was remastered by Kawabata Makoto only for Bandcamp.

The only studio recording by the first group Kawabata Makoto formed with two friends. Since Kawabata was at primary school he had loved Indian music, musique concrete, and the electronic music of Stockhausen etc. Then when he was 12 he discovered The Who, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin… if only there was something that combined hard rock with electronic music, he would dream to himself. That was the beginning.
At the time they didn’t own any instruments. The only thing they had was a synthesizer that they had borrowed from another friend. As a result, their first musical forays were played on that one synthesizer and some handmade percussion.
They laid down the basic tracks in the dark storeroom adjoining the science laboratory at their junior high school, under the light from a single red lightbulb. They used some of the beakers and instruments from the storeroom as their percussion, breaking several of them in the process. Needless to say, this episode got them into a heap of trouble later.
