v/a - "Order Of The Kite Vol. 2" 2xLp

Second volume of the Order Of the Kite compilation series. Any fans of Japanese hardcore out there? Here is something for you. This two-part double LP compilation is a who's who of the underground scene, covering any key market from Tokyo to Sendai. Mostly released in the second half of the eighties -- with just a bunch of 1984 seven inches -- these tracks are a pretty rare example of suburban violence. Often influenced by English d-beat and Italy's early fast and furious hardcore agenda, those bands were more than a menace to the system. Here, for the first time on vinyl, two mandatory compilations (along with ORDER 001LP) depicting the decline of the Eastern civilization. Featuring The Clay, Bitousha, LSD, and The Execute.
