 Splendid Magazine reviews Casino Versus Japan / Freescha: Split EP
It takes a fairly seasoned ear merely to determine that Casino Versus Japan and Freescha are two different acts sharing a single EP.

It was just about half a year ago that I first ran across the name Casino Versus Japan while scanning over the Carpark web site to scope out future releases.
Carpark is one of those smaller labels that has built up a super-consistent release base in my mind, so even after I'd read scattered reviews of Casino Versus Japan's second disc Go Hawaii, I leapt at the chance to pick up Whole Numbers Play The Basics, and for the most part it's an enjoyable trip.
The most prominent difference between this release and the first one that I heard from the group is a much more highly developed sense of programming and beat structures.

Erik Kowalski (aka Casino Versus Japan) is one of the most truly underrated and overlooked wonders in the oversaturated genre of modern electronic music (much like his Carpark labelmate Marumari).
This is mainly due to the sublime and monumentally beautiful walls of manipulated guitar texture found throughout this, and all of CVJ's wonderful releases.
CvJ's sophomore effort is really an acquired taste, but it is quite beautiful and fits well in the great conversation of electronic music.

It's the record-buying public's loss, as Casino versus Japan (born Erik Kowalksi) continues to serve up dreamy synth-pop of the highest order from his homebase of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

 Cincinnati CityBeat : 04/07/2004 : Short Takes
It's a little hard to believe that Erik Kowalski, the mind behind Casino Versus Japan, is based in Milwaukee.
Hitori + Kaiso 1998-2001 is Kowalski's fourth release on as many record labels under his Casino Versus Japan moniker, and it collects 29 outtakes and non-album tracks on two discs.
As is often the case with such releases, much of the material doesn't make the leap from "fleeting idea" to "full-fledged song." That's a bit of a disappointment, because when Kowalski completes his thoughts, he shows a deft touch for turning disparity into cohesiveness.
