Both of these compilations are bootlegs from sources unknown (to me and apparently google as well). I'm normally not too keen on bootlegs since they tend to be of dubious quality and I don't really like the idea of people putting out a bands music without their consent. But, I suppose after enough time has passed and no official repress or discography collection is released then bootlegging can serve a valid purpose in that it can keep hard to find music from fading into obscurity. My understanding of "Order of the Kite" volumes one and two is that they collect records that, with a few exceptions, are neigh on impossible to find for anything resembling a reasonable price.

I won't spend much time describing each band contained in the compilations as reviews can easily be found elsewhere. But, I will say that if you like hardcore, especially the kind that is distinctly Japanese hardcore, then you'd be a damned fool to not download this.
