Japanese Karaoke Afterlife Experiment. One of the top handful of bands I had in mind when I started this blog, and yet have dicked around and procrastinated about giving JKAE the proper treatment. Top-shelf drums+electronics/guitar masked electrofied spazz noisepunk in the classic early-00s style. Would fit perfectly on Load circa 2002-04 alongside bands like Neon Hunk, Fat Worm of Error, Total Shutdown, etc. Featuring Ren Schofield (Container/God Willing/Form A Log/etc) on drums n stuff, and Charles Lavendier on electronics, keys and guitar, who went on to play mousetronics in the last few tours and album with the White Mice (as well as a ton of other awesome projects). Fucking fantastic stuff made by old friends during an extremely fertile period in space and time. This post was far too long in coming.
Included in the file are:
-my own rips of their first self-titled CDR (pictured at the top)
as well as the plain no-cover CDR labeled "1st Demo" (pictured at the bottom)
-a 192kbps rip of their seond self-titled 3" CDR on the incredible Audiobot label, which is the same as the first self-titled CDR above, but minus the into and live tracks and including two additional tracks
-a 256kbps rip of the "Alive in the Electric Kingdom" CDR which features a lot of the same songs but with often vastly different recordings and versions
This is as much a complete discography as I've been able to piece together. There was also a collaborative CDR recorded with Unicorn Hardon and Knifestorm (which I will also be posting up soon), but this seems to be about it otherwise.
Enjoy a classic slice of early-00s Olneyville freak rock genius.

Check out "Laser Express Zone" from the self-titled 2004 CDr!
