Sympathy Nervous is the electronic project of Japanese artist Yosihumi Niinuma. His sound is spot on intelligent electronics with minimal synth. Simply outstanding sounds from Japan in the 80's. Here are two excellent cassettes for you to check out. Highly recommended.
When the Tsunami washed away the coast of Japan last March 2011, Niinuma-San lost everything: an entire lifetime of recordings, instruments, hand built sequencers, and even his home. Fortunately, prior to the disaster, he had sent the record label Minimal Wave audio masters for an album called Automaticism which features songs Niinuma-San recorded between 1979-1981. It's an excellent album that has some really amazing guitar and electronics. Most were originally slated for a cassette release but never saw the light of day until now. This is a benefit album with all proceeds going straight to the artist. Please check out the link below to purchase!

automaticism sounds incredibly intimate.
hey man, by any chance do you happen to know what happened to http://holywarbles.blogspot.com/ ?
i have no idea what happened to Holy Warbles??!! can't believe it just disappeared without notice....
**edo** - This post isn't actually 'No More Expo'. Mutant Sounds actually posted the music to 'It's Second Coming' by mistake.
I posted it with correct artwork here:

I also just posted the actual 'No More Expo' cassette here:
