I guess that this is project is dead now, since his latest release came out quite long time ago. However, S-core will be remembered as unusual project - mainly because it have nothing to do with noise, which is rare for Japanese scene. Tanaka is also quite prolific - there's no complete discography, but some sources report that he released a lot of cassetes.
It is kind of intensive ambient-industrial/ambient-noise which was made with found sounds and it leans closer towards *Zoviet-France" territory than Merzbow.
Another project of that kind is Grim, but even less is known about him/them.
