Don't buy this s***.Autofact is known ripoff.Stole $85 from me.Many others were screwed,and the jerk who ran it (Josh Hunt) went to prison.Do not support him in any way.He ripped off Earth and other bands.

If I ever see Josh Hunt...

indeed. boycott this. Hunt not only stole from customers but from the bands themselves (Earth). If Hitler put out a record, would you buy it? well...um...

Mr Hunt has decided to make good and send me a package with a bunch of records and shirts he owed me.So in the interest of fairness,I will say that Autofact does put out great records,and I hope Josh keeps making things right and moving ahead.

If you have problems with Mr Hunt just contact him.He hooked me up.

What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

The eagerly awaited FENNESZ live in Japan LP on Autofact is finally with us and it begins with heavy malfunctioning dub machinations submerged in hiss and fuzz. Like Chain Reaction / Rhythm & Sound forced through a big glitch machine and then submerged in the ocean. The track fizzles out to strange shifting buzzes and then an acoustic guitar makes an appearance albeit dissolved into this somewhat chaotic but controlled framework. Quality gear that will appeal to both druggies and chin strokers alike :) Hehehe...

What the label says:

The Autofact release of "Live In Japan" by Christian Fennesz marks not only the albums debut on vinyl, but also it's first ever domestic offering. Originally released in 2003 as Japanese only CD (Headz/Touch), "Live In Japan" is perhaps the definitive live document of electro-acoustic composition for our time. Hailed by many to be the 'greatest laptop live show in music history' and counted among the albums of the year by THE WIRE in 2003, one would perhaps have to go back as far as Kraftwerk to find a live electronic performance as engaging, organic and inventive as "Live In Japan". The LP consists of one sublimely beautiful and haunting 43 minute long track, recorded live at the Shibuya Nest, Tokyo in February of 2003. The performance takes us from the bright codeine pop of "Endless Summer" to the haunting melancholy of "Venice", with familiar bits of coda and electronic soul hooks catching us as we stream through the lush, nearly symphonic drones and soundscapes which Fennesz has expertly composed to guide us through his musical legacy. This is that rare piece of music which affects both the ardent champion and the novice alike, moving and original, with not a single note wasted and nothing out of place. Guitar music? Laptop music? Post-modern electronic soul music? Fennesz music.
