High Rise Discography

We're grateful to Nick Cain, the publisher of the excellent New Zealand magazine Opprobrium, and especially, writer Alan Cummings , for the following extensive discographies. Alan's interview with Asahito Nanjo appears in a truncated form on the inside of the Dispersion CD, and his translation of an interview with Munehiro Narita is inside the Disallow CD. Both interviews are printed in their entirety on our High Rise reviews page, and are highly recommended reading.

All releases are Japanese unless otherwise noted.
