Non Band
Vibration Army/silence-high-speed (+book)
This unique and unconventional set combines a 7" single with two previously unreleased songs by Non Band and a 56 page
photo magazine, both of which provide essential evidence of the tsunami-like tidal wave of the Japanese post punk
movement.
The two featured songs 'Vibration Army' and 'Silence-High-Speed' perfectly capture the charismatic formative years of
Non Band, with their sound emerging as an entirely unique mix of driving punk veering from no wave and folk into raw
post punk mutations. Both songs were committed to tape in 1981 at the legendary facilities of Mod Studio, Tokyo, by
engineer Yasushi Konichi when the band recorded their eponymous debut album which was issued via Tokyo's Telegraph
Records back in 1982. Although both songs were miraculously omitted from the final album. Like all of Non Band
recordings they have withstood the test of time thanks to their mix of direct, experimental yet disciplined rawness and
studio magick.
The magazine features a text and a careful selection of photos from the vast archives of photographer Yuichi Jibiki, who
was also the man behind the label Telegraph Records. Since 1978 Yuichi Jibiki was intimately involved with the early
Japanese punk scene as their photographer, manager and organiser. He could be found very much in the midst of all Non
Band live shows between 79-82 as well as pulling the strings behind the scenes. After the reissue edition of Non Band's
debut album via Stefan Schneider's TAL imprint in 2017 the label is excited to be able to offer another key release
showcasing the creative peak of Japanese post punk.
