'Acid Waltz' is a CD album of 'Acidcore' music from prolific Tokyo-based noise/breakcore/chiptune artist CDR aka Hikaru Tsunematsu. It is due for release in October on Adaadat.
"CDR offers here a good introduction to (some) of the sounds and manners of a genre in constant flux. Far from derivative, playing with and twisting the open source of the given code, this music comes out as mischievous and fun."
Jacob Arnold (Gridface)
"The Japanese avant-garde scene gets a lot of press worldwide, so why not the Japanese underground? CDR is a prime example as to why they should. He has a unique penchant for adrenaline-pumping beatfuckery, and is perfectly capable of backing this up with his good ear for melody. Yet, sadly, he remains virtually unknown in the good old U. S. of A, with only two of his many releases being easy to find over here. Much like Shpongle and the Jvox album "Shuffling Data," CDR is just plain too good to be overlooked like this. Breakcore fans and otakus, check this kid out."
