Following on from their previous release, the legendary revival live performance by Naked Rallizes held at Kichijoji Baus Theater on February 13, 1993, has been released as an album from digital multi-track recordings. The first production run of the CD comes with a DVD containing a video work created using footage from the live performance on that day.

Following on from "CITTA' '93," which has already been released worldwide and has generated a huge response, the performance held at Kichijoji Baus Theater on February 13th, four days prior, has been made into a work titled "BAUS '93." This performance, which marked the first live performance for Rallizes in five years, is also known as a legendary performance.
As with "CITTA' '93," the master is an 8-channel digital multi-track, with cassette recordings made in the venue and stereo output from the mixing console added, and Makoto Kubota has once again poured her heart and soul into mixing and mastering. With this latest release, "BAUS '93," she has once again reconstructed a Rallizes concert with a sound image no one has ever heard before.
The line-up for the day was Takashi Mizutani (vocals, guitar), Katsuhiko Ishii (guitar), Kiyohiro Takada (bass), and Toshiaki Mimaki (drums). The rhythm section was different from the performance four days later, and the band was expected to perform with a different feel to their previous album, "CITTA' '93."
The first production run of the CD also comes with a DVD containing a video work created by Akira Uji, who was previously in charge of visual direction for Rallys, using video footage taken of the stage performance on the same day.

The commentary was written by Jennifer Lucy Allan, a writer who has worked on shows like "The Wire" and "The Quietus" and who also hosts a show on BBC Radio. Julian Cope, renowned for his book "Jap Rock Sampler," which introduced the world to Japanese underground rock, including Rallizes, has also contributed a special article.
