[Tracks/times?]

A Japanese art/noise supergroup. Their name was a play on the baseball team the Nankai Hawks (now known as the Daiei Hawks) and the English prog band Hawkwind. This single included some strands of the members' hair. [Print status?]

Sold out at time of last update (here's hoping they make more). According to the Dual Plover website, "When EYE submitted his Rebirth of Fool compilation track a little late, we decided to capitalize on it anyway by releasing it on it's own, with a few remixes by our own dj smallcock thrown in for good measure." I might add that the label will be releasing (if they haven't already) the Ruffini Corpuscle CD by GARY BRADBURY (ex-SEVERED HEADS).
