| Comments: |
Released on John Zorn's Tzadik label as part of New Japan Series. Combines the 80's Merzbow collage style with the heavy 90's harsh style. Good production. Cover art is Art Deco Installation at Isetan Department Store, as photographed by Masami Akita. Spinecard claims that 1930 is "one of Masami Akita's great masterpieces." There may be some truth to that claim.
