Some words on this issue: AGATA MORIO: “Norimono Zukan” (Vanity Records - Vanity0005) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint). Bloody RARE Original Vanity press released in an edition of 300 copies, there was also NO obi upon the release of this record, come came only with the 2nd pressing of the disc on Chop records. Norimono Zukan was probably Agata Morio's most rumored about recording, partly due to the fact that Vanity Records birthed this baby and partly due to the fellow sub-cultural scenesters to participate on the disc such as Phew (who had just embarked on her Aunt Sally adventure), SAB and Chie Mukai amongst others. Unlike his early oeuvre he brooded out at the beginning of the seventies, characterized by his loner-acid-folk infested stance, his fondness for delicately balanced atmospheres revitalizing sentiments of long gone eras and evaporated traditional values, Agata sets out here on a totally different voyage. The times they were a changing and especially for Agata who began to embrace the glitching kitsch aesthetic of the burgeoning eighties by throwing himself head over heels into the realms of techno pop and synth-driven new wave. Although a certain pop feeling hovers over the larger part of the recording, still some traces of an unrelenting punk aesthetic and an indelible DIY attitude keep on resurfacing and pressing through a hard to ignore fragrance of anti-commercialism and “Us against Them” attitude. Especially appealing on this recording are the psyched-up choruses of ecstatic female vocals that underscore Agata's songwriting abilities, beefing it up with enough unrelenting teenage virility and unbridled sex appeal to elevate even the most limpid of body parts. Brilliant all way round and original Vanity press copies are hideously scarce these days, just impossible to unearth.
