Tolerance - Divin (LP - Vanity Records)
While this one isn't easy to find, a new bootleg version of it has just been released so you won't have to shell out the $200 bucks for a copy you have to ship all the way from Japan anymore. Tolerance was a band from Osaka who released 2 lps on Vanity records. Vanity was a label pioneered by Yuzuru Agi in 1978. Agi, a music journalist focused on releasing electronic music that heavily relied on experimentation. Falling somewhere between melancholic ambient and minimalist techno Divin is like a dark daydream. It feels beautiful and melodic and yet retains dark sensibilities. The instrumentation is sparse and full of space for reverbed drum machines and sharp synth tones. Hopefully we will be seeing more Vanity repressings in the near future...
