Boretronix is the name of a series of obscure self-released[1] cassette-only releases by Japanese noise rock band Boredoms, consisting of heavily edited recordings of rehearsals and live shows.[2] Although four releases are documented,[3] six are reported to exist,[1] and only the first three are proven to exist after they were made available online. All were released in extremely limited quantities.
The name was later adopted by the Tokyo management company handling Boredoms, Boretronix Co. Ltd., helmed by Junko Futagawa. Its hourglass-shaped logo was used as the title for the live recording on the second CD of the limited-edition box set release of Vision Creation Newsun.
