BASS野郎 presents BAD BASS

The return of Scorpio!

 

At least for me it is. You see, I first heard of Scorpio on the "Felix The Cat" release. "Felix The Cat" however is release BNCP-66, and this one is BNCP-58 (in the Bass 野郎 series) . So that means that this "Bad Bass" album is probably the first appearance of "Scorpio"? But whatever; it's an awesome bass release! I can't choose a track so I'll share the full playlist instead.

ENJOY THE BASS!

 

Bass野郎外伝 爆音ケンカ道

 地獄変

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OK, I know it took me long enough but I finally found the first volume of the Bass野郎外伝 爆音ケンカ道 series; BNCY-40. I already had BNCY-53 and BNCY-64. This one is another good compilation. There are Joey Boy tracks, Newtown, Neurodisc, IBP, a little bit of everything. Good stuff.

Unlike the latter 2 releases there was no sticker with this one yet though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But...

This one came with a fold out poster!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bass Christmas was about to be released next. Perfect timing. But then again, Christmas was a week ago already. How time flies! This was probably my last post of the year. Hopefully we can all have much more bass joy next year.

SEE YOU THEN FRIENDS!!

Bass Ya Low - Erotica 2

Bass野郎 エロチカ 2

 

  

 

Man, I really don't know what they were trying to do here. Now for Volume 1 they hired some ladies to add a little moaning to the mix. It wasn't really "family car" friendly, but it was listenable. But the second volume right here sounds like some type of audio book? Just listen to what they did to "Vicious Bass - Number 1". That does NOT sound right lol...

"Magic City DJ's - Get into it". What a way to eff up some more dope scratching! :(

Luckily we have other things beside the music we can concentrate on. Like the lovely cover girls Shiho Hoshino and Yui Minami. Both are professional models and can be found in various magazines and videos. In the liner notes of the booklet you can find all the details about them, as well as a cut out poster.

 

 

 

So as you might have noticed, I enjoy doing a little digging here and there. As an extra bonus to this post, I found a copy of the "Weekly Playboy" from the same year as this cd release (1998). It has a feature shoot with  Yui and Shiho so we can see it as extra material to Bass Erotica 2. Enjoy the shoot as you listen to the girls taking a shower...

Tsutaya Records Presents Bass 野郎

Bad News Records

Tsutaya Records, Bad News Records, I have no idea what is going on here anymore. I do know that it's an earlier release in the "Bass 野郎" series (or "Bass Ya Low", sometimes "Bass 'Yarou'") from 1998; BN-109. I also know that it's not a bad compilation. Only 12 tracks but a variety of bass styles. Definately not a bad start for somebody who is just getting to know the genre.

Here's a selection:




(Was this released after the succes of DJ Laz' 'Mami el negro'?)




Ofcourse I initially bought this mainly for the cool cover. I'm trying to complete the "Bass 野郎" series also, but the cover is really the reason why I love these Japanese releases.

The back cover has a blue van. Rush paintjob after the heist???

BASS野郎 - Hard Core 2

Not sure if Tari's still having fun!

Just as Bass 野郎 was the Japanese release for Neurodisc 's Bass Shock - Dungeon of Bass, Bass 野郎 2 is the same as Neurodisc 's Bass Shock II - Bass torture.

Bass Hardcore 2:

Bass Shock II 

SAME TRACKS! With classics like Bass Obsession

 

Fantastic Galactic

 


and Getup & Jam!




Good CD, but I actually don't think this IS Tari! On the Bass Shock II cover she has blonde hair (as photographed by Al Freddy), but on the Bass Hard Core 2 cover it's black.Prolly Japanese Tari...

I guess the Japanes designer wanted to take a different route than Gerard Delaney & Sergio Pinon from AdImpact Inc.

I will leave you now with GHIA!

Bass Yarou Vol. 3

Bass For Summer Lowride 03

In all honesty I don't understand anymore; so is it "Bass Yarou"? "Bass Ya Low"? "Bass For Summer Lowride" So confusing! I do know that this must be Vol. 3, check the CD and back cover:

THIS is Vol. 2, I thought THIS was Vol. 1, and I'm still trying to figure out which volume THIS is then. Vol. 1,5 maybe?? Confusing, but there are much bigger problems in this world! So who cares anyhow?

You'll find most of the music off this Vol. 3 on YouTube already so I will give you the full album to enjoy.



Yep, not a bad compilation of classics at all. And combined with the crazy graphics by Illdozer Graphuck, this is an OK project I'd say...

Bass野郎 サーキットの狼

The Circuit Wolf

Here we have another Bad News Records release in the Bass Yarou series. This appears to be the (un?)official soundtrack to "The Circuit Wolf", a manga published as "Circuit no Ōkami". As do most Bass Ya Low releases, we get a nice packaging and artwork all around. Hajime Koboyashi did his best, thats for sure.

 

So far so good... but now for the bad news; THE MUSIC. It sucks! (IMO ofcourse! Feel free to like it if you do!) I didn't know Michelle Jackson would perform Beat it!? I didn't know Nicky Marlboro would perform Livin' La Vida Loca!? I didn't know Ho Ho would perform Take On Me!? How could I have? (OK, you got me, could have checked Discogs).

LISTEN!

 


The only track I can enjoy is Mitso Shino's "Travelling without moving"

SEE Y(AR)OU LATER!

Bass Yarou - Erotica

You try it!!

Try and make the cover uncensored! Doesn't look to hard imo, but I have to hand it to Hajime Kobayashi (you know, the Bad News Records art director and designer); he really got creative on this one.

So what we have here is the first volume in the Bass Yarou 'Erotica' series. Actually what we hear on this disc is the complete Bass Erotica release "Erotic bass delight", originally released on Neurodisc records...

and 3 added tracks with the kind of vocals Bass Yarou 'Erotica' would become known for. There are no extra vocals on the Bass Erotica tracks so I will only post the 3 added tracks. Enjoy!


 


Now it is time to meet the lovely ladies with the awesome vocal capabilities! I'm sure they made it very far in the, ...uhm, ..."business"?

TILL NEXT YAROU FRIENDS!

Bass Ya Low 7

Also known as BASS野郎(7)

21 Songs selected from the 3 volumes of Bass Patrol Angels. The original albums had 35 tracks altogether so I'll leave it up to you to decipher which ones they chose;

Here's the tracklist:

And here are the volumes:






The remaining 6 tracks are skits. I've compiled them here for your listening pleasure:




And speaking of covers: the cover illustration was done by Illdozer.

Till we meet again friends, but don't forget to BASS YAROU!!!! 

 

BASS野郎・四

Bass Yarou 4

Yeah man, that subwoofer has a well-fitted resonance-box... Here we have another cd in the Bass Yarou series, which, as you might have figured out by now, is known for the interesting covers. Funny thing about this one is that the original cover to the booklet is actually a yellow one:

The cartoon cover is an extra one page leaflet.

All of this nice artwork was created by Illdozer Graphuck and the tracks (23 in total) come from a variety of bass labels; Dynamix II Records (Quad Queen), Joey Boy Records (Lady Dice and Fresh Celeste), Newtown Records (Beat Oulaws, Bass Boy & Def Bass Krew) and IBP (Bass Fraternity). Not a bad compilation (although the Beat Outlaws tracks suck balls...)
 

BASS野郎 - Hard Core

Tari's having fun!

I say Tari because I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be the girl from Bass Shock's "Dungeon of Bass" cover; blond hair and same "clothes", but most of all the music on this Japanese release (in the Bass Yarou series I think) is exactly the same as on the original Neurodisc release. Peep the tracklistings:

Bass Hardcore:

 

Original Neurodisc release

As you can see this is another cool Japanese release. I really like the way they didn't just create a totally different cover but they continued to work on the original. Prime example of why I started this blog. Since it's a cartoon the artist (unfortunately I can't read Japanese so I don't know who he is) took the opportunity to let his imagination run free and make her a little more voluptuous I see. Also she doesn't appear to be in the dungeon itself but in some type of booming car. Maybe the dungeon's speaker was blown?? Have fun Tari and enjoy the music...
