This collaborative effort unites the former Japan frontman's sophisticated art rock sensibilities with the King Crimson guitarist's signature frippertronics and angular riffs. The resulting compositions balance atmospheric textures with sudden, heavy instrumental outbursts, driven significantly by the complex polyrhythms of Trey Gunn and Jerry Marotta.
