"the first of two requested nord lp's, l.s.d. features rough hewn sheets of ominous yet trippy pulsating textural electronics with an obvious debt to the stark teutonic soundworlds of kluster and (especially) seesselberg. any glimmers of transcendence are immediately offset by a deadzone ambience that reeks of maurizio bianchi. hiroshi oikawa's solo explorations of the galactic void seem considerably more enticing to these set of ears than the more formalized quotidian post-industrial constructs he was fabricating under the nord moniker with satoshi katayama on their pinakotheca label debut lp from three years earlier. if this is cosmic, than it's the cosmos as viewed from the vantage point of a burned out cinder drifting into entropy. gripping stuff!" (mutant sounds) reissue of the 1984 lp.Limited to 500 copies.
