Rallizes Denudes
Citta' '93 (3lp)
In 1991, Les Rallizes Denudes released three full length albums on CD, the band's first-ever recordings to be made available since their formation in Kyoto more than two decades prior. In 1993, the band appeared in front of an audience for the first time since 1988. Their appearance at Club Citta', which came four days after their "comeback" gig at Baus Theater, turned out to be one of the most notable out of all the Rallizes performances thus far. With guitars roaring at colossal levels, even surpassing the immense volume of their earlier gigs, the doors were vibrating as some audience members were said to have run out to the lobby to find respite from the sonic assault. This shattering performance, in its entirety, comes now on a 3LP set. Carefully mixed by former Rallizes member Makoto Kubota, 'Citta' '93' presents a Rallizes sound that has never before been heard in any official capacity.
