My Lord Music, I Most Humbly Beg Your Indulgence In The Hope That You Will Do Me The Honour Of Permitting This Seed Called Keiji Haino To Be Planted Within You

Originally released in 1971 as a private press limited to only a handful of copies, this record serves as the debut document of the legendary Japanese experimental musician Keiji Haino. The album was conceived during a period of intense artistic formation, capturing Haino's nascent exploration of feedback-laden guitar, raw vocal expression, and the integration of traditional Japanese instruments. It remains a foundational work that established the sonic vocabulary for his subsequent decades of performance.

This 2022 reissue by Black Editions was designed to return a near-mythical artifact to public availability, adhering to the austere aesthetic sensibilities often associated with Haino’s discography. The label worked to preserve the original’s sparse, confrontational atmosphere, ensuring the pressing reflected the gravity of its initial 1971 release. Upon its wider circulation, the album was received as an essential primary text in the history of underground noise and avant-garde music, finally allowing critics and enthusiasts to trace the roots of Haino’s singular approach to sound.
