Here is what David Keenan (WIRE magazine) thought about this first CD-R released in 1999 :
á UP-TIGHT are a noxious young trio from south Tokyo, all acolytes of the legendary Japanese psych group Les Rallizes Denudes, who augment their sound with crushing, Sabbath-styled dynamics, earsplitting acid leads and beautiful Velvets-inspired ballads... If song structures are mostly kept loose, allowing for lots of noisy improvisation, generally the disc is anchored by heavy riffs. Just when you thought you'd got to grips with Tokyo's paradigm destroying psych scene, this one hits like a sucker punch.â All songs are 5 to 10 minutes range, from very melodic ballads to psychedelic trips, culminating to a final epic track : –³‘è (Non-Title) an 18 minutes tour deforce song that brings you to another dimension as if the Velvet Underground Sister Rayfs would have a child
with Acid Mothers Temple, while listenning to Amon Duul under Codeine. UP-TIGHT are the generation that emmerge with the madness of the Tokyo 90fs and all the P.S.F Records scene. Close to Acid Mothers Temple (They recorded an
album together), the band has a unique sound and are one of the most important underground reference in the actual Japan Psychedelic scene.
THE LABEL
This is second release of the French label DESASTRE, created by Vincent Mare in Paris, after the now soldout DST-01 : FRANCE á Meltdown Of Planet Earth â, a monumental 56 minutes long track ! recorded live in Paris in 2014 and released in a very limited CD-R edition, silk screen cover, with artwork made by Donnie
Ka and Jeremie Sauvage, bass player of FRANCE and owner of Standard In-Fi label. This first release was a real collaboration with the band that finally lead to the second release.
The artwork of the UP-TIGHT LP has been created by Jeremie Sauvage, as STANDARD IN-FI VISUALS, his creative artwork structure. It makes a natural link between the two relases. He took inspiration in the actual Japan sub-culture network that also make an echo to previous generations and different culture heritage.
