After relocating to Tokyo, Mikawa was joined by Fumio Kosakai - himself an occasional Hijokaidan member and former member of C.C.C.C. - and the duo has functioned since as a kind of pure noise dialectic: two salaried workers (a bank deputy general manager and a government office worker, respectively) who transform themselves at the electronics table into something altogether inhuman. Their stated aim is noise uninfluenced by musical ideas or human intention - what Kosakai calls \"hard noise\", a nod toward hard bop that is more than ironic: there is, for those who listen closely, something unmistakably jazz-like in the interplay between Mikawa and Kosakai's feedback and electronics, a quality that recalls the climactic intensities of Pharoah Sanders or Albert Ayler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtreme Gospel Nights\u003c\/em\u003e documents this intensity in its most unmediated form - two tracks, \u003cem\u003eBitter Insect\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eAccelerated No(i)sebleed\u003c\/em\u003e, recorded live with the energy of vivisected circuitry, dense and agonizing and full of detail.
