Some words on this issue: HAINO KEIJI: “Watashi Dake” (Pinakotheca Records, 1981) Getting also here in Japan almost impossible to track down. Haino’s first solo release dating from 1981, released on the historical and highly collectable Pinakotheca label. Needles to say that Pinakotheca discs are bloody rare. But this Haino recording is definitely his best record till this date, together with the initial Fushitsusha album. “This debut recording is a stunning introduction to the Japanese noise guitarist's earliest work. Those expecting a primitive guitar workout will be surprised to learn that his first recording is a Cecil Taylor-like free form piano improvisation. Proving that he never needed the feedback and noise of electric guitar to send shivers down the spine, this acoustic ritual has all the dark magic of his later work. Impassioned free jazz may have been the springboard from which he launched in the '70s, and his affection for that form can be heard through into his psychedelic rock with Fushitsusha and his dark solo electric rituals. ‘Watashi Dake’ is an essential document of the Japanese outsiders enormous body of work.” – (Martin Walters, All Music Guide). Haino’s solo electric guitar/vocal music on Watashi Dake veers from soul-pulverizing heaviness to haunted songs where he sounds faint chords inside a tunnel of gently ringing feedback harmonics, from which his high keening voice emerges, expressing who knows what anguish. They suggest a soul even more troubled than Alex Chilton's on Big Star's broken-backed third album, or Neil Young's sweet, cracked alto elegizing dead friends on Tonight's The Night. The difference with Haino's songs is that they're arrived at with their singer fully conscious and capable of making some kind of sense of the despair they encapsulate, no matter how shredded full of holes they may be. Whatever condition they describe, Haino's works don't swell in misery. So what else do you need? This is a classic unbeatable record.
