Z-Rock Hawaii - Z-Rock Hawaii (1996)

Collaboration between Ween and Japanese experimental noise-rockers Boredoms. An interesting mixture of Ween's off-kilter humour and Yamantaka Eye's unmistakable noisy style, and a pretty enjoyable listen overall.

朝生愛/Wata - She's So Heavy split 7" (2007)

Beautiful split single by Ai Aso and Wata (from the amazing Boris). Dreamy, too bad it's only two songs. First song is a King Crimson cover by Ai Aso, second song written by Masashi Kitamura and performed by Wata.
