Contagious Orgasm - One Drop Water

This is the alias of Hiroshi Hashimoto who's been busy over the years with releases on a ton of labels from Tesco Organization through to Harbinger sound and Ant-Zen. The first cut 'At The National Border' is stunning with it's electronic bleeps, bells and strings which make way for a breathtaking vocal surrounded by a chorus of vocal drones. I can imagine this soundtracking an epic Samurai movie. Just when you think things couldn't any better the track switches gear and I'm left in goosebump city. 'Wavelength To Amplify' has Hiroshi bring the noise with pounding drums, manipulated samples and acidic squiggles perhaps recalling bits of Meat Beat Manifesto. 'Acid Rain 2' on the B-side has some brain melting synthesizer sounds give way to a piano motif, congas, melancholy strings and sampled dialogue then a big thumping slow and heavy kick drum drops by. Highly original audio which is increasingly rare these days.
