Violent OnsenGeisha’s 'Que Sera, Sera (Things Go From Bad To Worse)' is a fever dream of sound, a rare example of Japanese experimentalism at its most unrestrained. Released in the 1990s underground, this album stands as a testament to the cut-and-paste audio collage approach that propelled the genre’s avant-garde. Expect abrupt switches between crushed samples, mangled pop hooks, and bursts of noise—yet somehow, it all coheres into a strangely hypnotic narrative. This is not just a listening experience, but an invitation to question the very concept of what music can be.
For collectors and seekers of the unusual, this album is a crucial document of the outsider electronic scene. It captures a moment where boundaries between genres and cultures dissolve, resulting in an unpredictable tapestry that rewards deep listening. Each play reveals new fragments—snippets of lost radio, vintage kitsch, and subversive humor—making it endlessly re-listenable. For those who cherish vinyl that pushes the envelope, 'Que Sera, Sera' is an essential piece, evoking both the chaos and the charm of experimental sound art.
