Give Us The Time To Play! - 2 x 7" - Lifestyle Sound, 1990, Japan, Gatefold booklet sleeve, Dist. by MCR, (Soul-001)

Great double seven inch compilation gathering five bands from the city of Sendai.
While the 5 bands featured here play rather fast & furious kind of Hard Core, they still manage to keep the own specific sound. The sound quality also is pretty decent here. Enjoyable record if you dig Japanese hard core, of course...
Fat Slave plays two tracks of classic, solid, typical Jap-core, a good & smooth introduction...
Banish Arms delivers four tracks of devastating crust-core reminiscing a noisier version of Extreme Noise Terror at breakneck speed. A bit messy but enjoyable nevertheless.
Gang Thrust, who seems to be the instigators and producers of that compilation project, are to me the highlight of the bunch, two ultra fast blasts in the lines of S.O.B. or Googol Plex, high pitched vocals, tight drumming, solid guitar work, too bad these guys didn't record anything else...
Half Life play three songs of fast, dark and noisy crust, they sound like debris falling on a corrugated iron roof, with very gruffy vocals, feelings of ferocity and desperation ooze from their noise. Didn't heard anything else from them, seems there's a Japanese Half Life who put out a 7'' on Hg Fact, so if it's the same band, they turned playing boring metalcore... Who knows...
Rich Mate Rally / Rich Materially close the comp with two fast melodic and rythmic tunes, their lyrics don't seems to make much sense, though. They later changed their name for Reach a Mental Road and appeared on a split 7'' on MCR with Dr & The Crippens before disappearing and falling into complete oblivion.

It's possible to still find real copies at a reasonable prices, guess this record is not very rare, maybe 1000 or more copies were pressed, no hype surrounds this comp so it doesn't make it a very sought collector item...
