Limited 2024 restock. Japanese solo project Jun Konagaya's Grim released the beautiful EP, Message, in 1987. It was his first and sole full folk music release despite having an album called Folk Music in 1986 that was a classic industrial album, featuring Yukio Nagoshi, founding member of the Vasilisk unit, on guitar and percussion and A. Takahashi on vocals, with collaboration and technical support from Tomo Kuwabara, partner and co-founder with Jun Konagaya of the legendary group White Hospital. This EP kind of feels like walking through an ancient fairy tale forest, all hazy, and magical, and slightly creepy. Remastered with the entire A-side enclosing the original six tracks and the B-side featuring the 2021 noise-oriented remix.

2011 release. Limited edition of 600. Three-LP box including tracks from the Vital cassette (1987), Amaterasu 7" (1985), Message 12" (1987), Folk Music LP (1986), and various compilation contributions. Grim was an absolutely amazing, almost schizophrenic, obscure power electronics and noise project of Jun Konagaya. His sound changes its mood and atmosphere in seconds. From extreme harsh and hard power electronics noise-walls to ingenious folk songs. In the very early '80s Jun Konagaya formed White Hospital together with Tomosada Kuwahara. They released one album, Holocaust, in 1984, and split. At that time Konagaya had already released the Vital tape with his Grim project. Kuwuhara moved on to form Vasilisk while Konagaya continued as Grim, releasing one LP, 12", and 7" as well as contributing to several compilations during the '80s.
