Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by the masterful turntablism and dense, sample-heavy production of Eye Yamantaka, this project bridged the gap between Japanese noise aesthetics and underground hip-hop. 'Era of Glitterring Gas' layers incredibly thick, jazz-inflected breakbeats under a myriad of frantic scratches and vocal drops. The release stands as a vital, highly experimental precursor to the instrumental trip-hop and turntablist movements of the late 90s.
