Biography
1) Osaka's experimental electronic project Tolerance was the brainchild of keyboardist and vocalist Junko Tange. With contributions from guitarist Masami Yoshikawa, Junko would release two albums on Vanity: Anonym (1979) and Divin (1981) . Anonym was supposedly the source for the title of the second Nurse With Wound LP, "To The Quiet Men From A Tiny Girl".
Tolerance's sound can be described as primitive, murky minimal electronics toying with ideas of fidelity (or the lack thereof), recording techniques (hard panning, volume and frequency drop outs), etc. Since 2020, previously unreleased material has become available, and her music has been remixed too. However, Junko and Masami's whereabouts have been unknown since 1981.
2) Lawrence Whitehead, also known as Tolerance, is a producer, DJ and musician from Cardiff, South Wales. His unique tracks seamlessly blend orchestral and synthesised elements, and feature distinct melodies which are emphasised by punchy beats and rolling basslines. These tracks have caught the attention of high profile DJs, one of whom, the multi-award-winning N-Type, has signed up several of Tolerance's tracks for release on his label Wheel & Deal Records. His debut release will feature three tracks, including the anthemic Timeship and Chamber of Secrets, on a limited vinyl pressing, with the digital release consisting of Timeship and Dejection. With massive support from the likes of N-Type, Rinse FM and the rest of the dubstep elite, this is set to be a big release.
3) Progressive rock/metal band from Caracas, Venezuela, formed in 2013. They released their first album in 2013 (entitled "When Time Stops").
