	Extasy Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Extasy Records is a record label in Japan created in the late 1980s by Yoshiki Hayashi (Yoshiki), founder of the Visual Kei rock group X Japan, financed by the money earned from his mother selling the family business.
		It was the original promoter of young, aggressive musicians and Visual bands in Japan and groomed the likes of Luna Sea, Ladies Room, etc.

		The members at that time were Yoshiki on drums and piano, Toshi on vocals, Hide and Pata on guitar and Taiji on bass.
		Not to be stopped, Yoshiki created his own record label - Extasy Records, with money he and his mother helped provide.
		In 1992, X went global, and this is when they changed their name to X-Japan, as they moved out to America, to try and make it big.

	L.A. Grapevine
		Both the SSL 9000-equipped one on one North, on Lankershim in the NoHo arts district, and the vintage Neve-fitted South (previously Brooklyn Recording), on Beverly Boulevard in L.A., have now become part of the Extasy Studios group, with former Brooklyn Recording chief engineer and general manager Bill Dooley named director of recording for both facilities.
		Extasy North in its late-'80s incarnation had been near the top of my list of favorite L.A. studios, so I dropped in for a visit to see what changes have taken place.
		The offices are being used for the newly formed Extasy Records International, which is signing and preparing to record an eclectic roster of talent.

		In 1998 the band was signed to Push Records and they released their debut album Trickster with little support from their label and little promotion at all.
		After much patience, the band soon caught the attention of Extasy Records who signed to band and helped them release their 2002 album, Zerospace, which also featured the song "Before I'm Dead" which appreared on the Queen of the Damned Soundtrack.
		During this time, the band was put on hold, hoping to reunite again, but the band eventually fell apart as Dominguez went on to pursue a solo career(releasing her solo debut Freedoming, in 2004), while the remainder of the band formed Shocknina.

	Review : Abandoned Pools - 'Humanistic' by Max Malagnino
		One of the finest records of the year is not even a 'rainsound' record.
		Tommy Walter, who once liked to play bass for the Eels, has decided to turn serious this time, and to deliver a record with master arrangements and state-of-the art melodies, let alone those really soulful lyrics which sound kind of out of tune in the big prepacked music universe out there.
		For the others, Extasy Records is streaming the complete album on its website.

		He chose Soil for his new J Records, the first heavy metal band for that label.
		Here's a home recording that sounds as if it were done in a top-notch studio – not a bad freshman effort from Connell, who wrote the words, music, plays all the instruments and sings the whole thing as well.
		I'm not sure if this is a comedy record or a resume but, in any case, it's interesting, since Dingle provides all the sounds himself, well, except for an electric razor, wind chimes, bass, and guitars on one cut.

		With the success of the album X was being noticed and so Yoshiki's Extasy records made some contracts.

		Once almost unknown outside his hometown of southside Jamaica, Queens, he is currently signed to Eminem's record label Shady Records and Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment.
		In the opinion of many observers his continued success seems guaranteed by his large underground fanbase and the street credibility he has gained by appearing on almost every major mix tape sold in New York in the past few years.
		Interscope Records is very determined to sell 50 Cent as the "real deal", as the success of an artist in gangsta rap depends on his street credibility and reputation.

		Abandoned Pools may well be the ideal way to describe Tommy Walter's escape from a seemingly idyllic upbringing in the affluent L.A. community of Westlake Village.
		On his Extasy Records International debut, Humanistic, Walter takes matters into his own hands, casting a knowing eye on society's hypocrisies and deceits with a musical palette that combines some of his own unique influences.
		The new album, coincidentally, is the first for impressive start-up Extasy Records International.

	Soundtest - A Website About Music Reviews
		On one side of the spectrum you have songs like "Zan", which I must say, is one of the hardest songs I've ever heard in any language.
		Then on the other side you have a song like "Yokan", which aside from being their most accessible song and one of their greatest, it sounds almost pop compared to everything else on the record.
		The record ends in quite a fitting manner with Kyo finishing the countdown in broken English "tsuee, tsu, uuone" and it ends leaving the listener with nothing more than a nice sense of completion.

		This definitely isn’t a debut record but it is their debut with this "new" line-up (which features a guitar which the previous lacked).
		None of the songs on this CD should be new to anyone who has seen the band in the past year or so.
		This is their debut s/t record which I had to buy on CD because Scratch records was sold out of the vinyl.

		There is one thing to be said for record labels with a lot of money, and that is that they love flooding an album with production tricks.
		And if there is one thing to be said for the production of an album it is that, when done right, it can make a huge difference.
		If this album had been recorded, produced and released on a small indie label with a small indie budget, it probably would have come off sounding like an 80's infected version of AM/FM.

		X Japan was a long-time dream for him, and when it was born, he took great pains to raise it and make it the best of its kind.
		Among his many obstacles were the record labels who thought X was too "unconventional" and wouldn't produce X's records as they were composed.
		Frustrated that X couldn't produce under ideal conditions, Yoshiki and his childhood friend Toshi, X's vocalist, formed Extasy Records.
