JOHN DUNCAN: “Only the Beginning” (AQM – AQM204)  In a way this disc  actually is the sole release following the demise of the Illustrious Pinakotheca Records. After Pinakotheca records folded up its affairs, Satoh Takafumi retreated seemingly from the music scene but nothing was less true. He was still trying to get some projects of the ground and this disc is probably the sole LP that he released in 1983 after Pinakotheca called it a day and threw in the towel. Produced by John Duncan as well as by Satoh, the LP was recorded at Unomori's Our House studio and at Satoh's own living room. Side A is completely taken up by the track “Riot” which was a mix of shortwave, computer program transmissions, military Morse code, atmospheric interference and random sound, all scrambled together. Side B is comprised out of three tracks that kind off fade into each other. “Hungry” was a description of the audience reaction to an event by LAFMS member Paul McCarthy at a Los Angeles art gallery in 1980. “Last Words” was taken from a performance for the Tengokuchiyushiya (Heaven's Afternoon Fix) vat the outdoor amphitheater in Hibiya park. The final track was entitled “Yoika” and evolves around a poem. It all sound like a warm blanket of tape hiss, defunct electronic twists and turns, white noise static hissing, all very in the LAFMS aesthetic. This is the rare AQM pressing that came out in 1983 in an ultra limited run. Some years later RRR Records did also a 120 copies version, but this one is that illustrious 1st pressing that seemed to have fallen of the face of the earth.
