Hanatarash are best known both for introducing the world to Yamatsuka Eye and for their incendiary live antics, with driving an excavator through a venue wall the oft-cited peak of their destructive activities. It makes for thoroughly compelling spectacle, though it has tended to overshadow the five albums they recorded, of which 3 is a highlight. The manic, mantric drums on tracks like “9 is 6” re-imagine Klaus Dinger’s ‘Apache beat,’ while interjections of fearsome noise, careening cutups and woozy tape edits send everything into a dubbed-out slurry. Riotous, unpredictable live action excerpts seal the deal.
