Sharpnelsound update

Re: Sharpnelsound update

The important variants would be either of the two 1996 Project Gabbangelion Yonderdome CDs that were released before Sharpnelsound started, and the variant of SRPC-000X 別名おにぎりトラックス with the girl on the cover facing the other direction. Those are the tough ones to get, but Yonderdome was re-released as Early Style of Otakuspeedvibe 1996-1998 and all of the variants that I currently still need are just minor cover or packaging variations with no unique music that's not already on the other albums.

Will you upload these somewhere for posterity? :O Incredible story, man!

Re: Sharpnelsound update

I have them backed up but I wouldn't want to go behind the artists' backs especially since some of them helped me acquire some of these CDs (and it would also be really easy to trace back to me lol). Would be up to Sharpnel to re-release them if he wanted to.

Makes sense! Hope it's backed up on a private cloud, as opposed to another physical media xP I trust your judgement.

Omg!!! This collection fills my 15 year old self with so so much joy. I cannot believe you have this collection I am so happy for you. I wish I could get my hands on the CD with Flower Forever. <3 wow.

When my computer is done being built, I’m definitely gonna have to torrent this whether I like it or not. How do you even find copies?!

Thanks! The CD with Flower Forever on it is pretty tough to get, since Anime Gabba It has become pretty rare, and it didn't show up frequently to begin with. You can still find Sharpnelsound Collection pretty regularly though. That one also contains the song. Your best bet is to look on yahoo japan auctions and bid on the auction via a proxy service like Noppin, but Sharpnelsound albums aren't the cheapest anymore...
The way I got most of the common albums as well as some of the rare ones was via yahoo japan auctions and second hand shops, but for most of the rare albums I had to go around contacting private collectors and DJs that were active during the time since some of them have never shown up for sale publicly. I was lucky to get in touch with the right people and search on auctions/second hand stores at the right times haha.
Getting in touch with the guy that had Double Dutch and From The Heart (as well as another album pictured in the collection pic) was a chance meeting really. A good friend of mine who lives in Japan writes articles about music like Sharpnelsound and other underground techno/hardcore acts. An OG partygoer happened to read his article on Sharpnelsound. The article also noted the significance of Double Dutch in the label's history, so the previous owner went to his parents house to dig up his old Sharpnelsound albums from storage and upload pics to twitter for posterity. I immediately jumped on the opportunity to get in contact with him and well.. Now they're in my hands lol

If you want to read my friend's article, the link is:

It's an interesting read if this sort of underground party culture interests you. It also contains a little interview with DJ Sharpnel. Ian's other articles are all equally interesting and well-researched, so give them a go as well.

I would say nerd core is an abrasive way of considering a personal preference of samples as genre of speedcore. But it was a great read regardless
