The Mad Capsule Markets

I've said in previous posts that I like Japan. It's the only foreign country I want to visit before I shed this mortal coil. One Japanese export that I enjoy immensely is their music. I find their music to be more genuine than most of the crap that passes for popular music here in America.

One band that I got into years ago are The Mad Capsule Markets.

I forget where I first heard them. By sheer luck Best Buy carried what I believe is thier only American release.

One of my favorite albums: OSC-DIS (Oscillator in Distortion)

It's a shame they weren't more popular. They don't really have a defining genre. Songs on this album range from industrial, electronic, punk rock, rap rock, and even a surf tune. Which is all awsome.

This particular cd came with an extra disc with music videos off Osc-Dis and one from another album called Digidogheadlock.

Pulse


Midi Surf


All The Time In Sunny Beach


This next vid is by far the best song I have ever heard from them and one of my all time favorite songs evar. Thank you to whoever invented music videos!

Systematic


I'd like to get more of their albums, but Amazon has them listed as imports and are expensive as hell. Looks like I'll have to find them through bit torrent. lol
