LP MLD (Minimal Lethal Dose) was a Japanese project lead by Takayuki Shiraishi after his first mythical release with BGM on Vanity Records in 1980. Made with the help of Jun Sonohara it was active between 1983 and 1986 in Tokyo. This compilation collects nine unpublished tracks from the original tapes and confirms his unique offbeat style ranging from Post-Punk, Dub, and Industrial. It’s completed by “Perpetual Motion” and “Dynamo” previously released in 1983. With his quirky approach, this record unveils another piece of Japanese experimental music history. All these tracks have been carefully remastered by Krikor Kouchian.[info sheet from distr.]
