C.C.C.C. are legends of Japanese noise, and many consider their 1994 record Test Tube Fantasy to be their finest work, an unrelenting waterfall of psychedelic sound that stands as a genre classic. Originally released as a 7-inch on Ant-Zen, in 2020 C.C.C.C. member Hiroshi Hasegawa revisited the master tape that provided the source material for Test Tube Fantasy and remastered this longer performance into two 20+ minute tracks. This is an entirely reimagined version of Test Tube Fantasy that contains the core of what made the 7-inch so powerful.
New Forces is pleased to make this extended edition of Test Tube Fantasy available as an LP. On this record the concentrated eruption of the original 7-inch is given more room to expand as the performers slowly build a white-hot avalanche of sonic euphoria. For 43 blissful minutes C.C.C.C. transport the listener outside space and time. This is a fully immersive record that wipes out all other sensation, leaving only pure noise.
Just like the original 7-inch, this extended LP edition is pressed on clear vinyl and housed in a silver inner sleeve and jacket designed by John Wiese based on the original artwork.
*please note that items are more expensive on Bandcamp to account for the higher fees. Physical items can be obtained for a cheaper price on the New Forces bigcartel store, where you can also find a selection of distributed titles not available on Bandcamp.

I cannot praise this album enough. This album is absolutely terrifying! The many starts and stops creates this very h settling tension. Each start expands on the stopper idea previously. It’s like the music equivalent of walking through thick fog while passing out multiple times throughout trying to find a place to orientate yourself. There may or may not be something sinister in that fog, but you don’t want to stick around to find out. Bought the vinyl so I summon the fog demons through spe showhornwithteeth
Fans of Fire-Toolz, take note! The brutal new LP from STCLVR occupies the same sonic territory, with harsh electronics & pummeling beats. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 17, 2020
