Hexadecimal (#1301)

[CHz]

There's almost zero information about Hideaki Kobayashi's personally released albums (apparently VGMO's been able to get their mitts on a few), so I'm very interested in anything people might know about these beyond what's on Kobayashi's site.

Here's the discography:

1. Asterisk
   Didn't add this because I don't have a release year.
2. Technosphere
   Didn't add this because I don't have a release year.
3. Karen
   Didn't add this because I don't have a release year.
4. Yasoukyoku
5. Blossom
   
   Spoiler:

   2001 release listed as not for sale. It doesn't appear that this album was ever distributed, but is rather BGM for the site. I therefore didn't add it, since we have a policy against adding albums that are only available via streaming players and aren't directly available for download.

6. BGM001-008
   Planned for release at M3-26, but I'm unsure if that happened. A short version of BGM008 ended up on GEONDAN Rare Tracks 2.

I found it very difficult to found information on these albums too. I remember a couple were available in full for streaming and were filled with the type of abstract electronic fusions you might expect from him. Once we've completed a few of the interviews we're working on, I definitely intend to organise something with him if he's interested and will try to get full details on the Hexadecimal albums.
