--Review at time of arrival

A 2011 release by Raein, one of the biggest names in the Italian skramz scene. The band's self-produced and self-distributed pressings are the result of a long time activity and a questioning of what Do It Yourself means.

After a long period of activity, they questioned what “Do It Yourself” means, and as a result, their self-produced, self-produced pressings, free download distribution of all songs, and the free-marketing system where the listener decides the price and throws money at it, had an impact on the scene. I think so. At least, it was shocking to me. It is even commonplace now.

I don't know how it was received in Japan, but I think they were able to get more feedback than the label release as a result. There is a culture of paying for free stuff as a matter of course if it is good. The news was spread around the world with positive messages and many listeners were able to listen to this sound source.

The number of downloads and donations on the official page is over 36,000, but even if 1/10 of those listeners donated 500 yen, it would have been enough to cover the cost of production and pressing.

It proved that the DIY scene's philosophy of supporting each other rather than leaning on each other with a positive attitude is shared and nurtured not only by the bands but also by the listeners.

I think we can still do a lot of interesting things. This record is a record of such historical fact. The vinyl is a limited pressing of 500 copies.
