Album Notes & Community Reviews

This landmark Japanese release heavily utilized sampling and plunderphonics, integrating the groove-oriented sounds of the UK baggy movement with their established pop sensibilities. It played a pivotal role in the early development of the Shibuya-kei genre before the duo abruptly disbanded.
