The Mad Capsule Markets (1996) Digidogheadlock (1997) Osc-Dis (1999)

Digidogheadlock is the eighth album from The Mad Capsule Markets. The album explored the techno sound that would later be used on Osc-Dis. TORUxxx stepped in on guitar for this album, however Takeshi recorded the guitar on the track "Asphalt Beach". This album gained the band recognition by DHR founder and Atari Teenage Riot frontman Alec Empire, who remixed two tracks and invited them to tour with ATR. Interestingly this release was released 2 years before the breakthrough album Osc-Dis, but like Park there was little international interest at the time. The song "3:31" is a reference to Kyono's birthdate.
