One of the most beloved classics from this period is \"As Loud As Possible\" by Incapacitants. Active since 1981, the duo of Toshiji Mikawa and Fumio Kosakai found their stride in the early 90s and set off on an unrelenting course which produced countless gems of noise. Many of these have been well preserved and documented elsewhere, compiled on \"Box Is Stupid\" and \"Alchemy Box Is Stupid\", however, \"As Loud As Possible\" has never been reissued since its original release on Zabriskie Point. It is now made available for the first time since 1995, with no corner cut in preparation of its reissue. The audio was transferred from the original tapes by Din-I-Ilahi and re-mastered for digital and vinyl formats by Rashad Becker. The iconic cover photographs by Naomi Hosokawa have been scanned from the original negatives and enlarged for the expanded format, along with outtakes and unused shots, which are now included here for the first time. T. Mikawa also dug into the Incapacitants archives and unearthed two additional tracks of previously unreleased material, recorded around the same time as the album. These two tracks, entitled \"As Loud As Possible Revisited\" are included as a bonus 7\" with alternate picture sleeve.

The album was conceived in late 2020 and completed in spring of 2021, which requires no further explanation when it comes to recording and living conditions. The duo deploys an array of minimalist structures, steady in span and measured in concept. Each track is executed with a precision focus on antithetical components which curiously coalesce into widescreen hypnotic murals. The album unwinds across large canvases which traverse the full range of the frequency spectrum with patterned layers of static and atmospherics. \"Pavonine\" is maximal in its minimalism, a duality like a calm cloud filled sky above an ocean ruffled with wind and waves. The tracks contain elements of Kevin Drumm's \"Sheer Hellish Miasma\", reminiscent of its masterful timbre and texture, while at times also recalling the haunted void-gazing of the Yellow Swans.
