Album Notes & Community Reviews
Otomo Yoshihide's wildly chaotic ensemble unleashed a completely unhinged, heavily improvised barrage of avant-garde noise and turntable manipulation. Violently splicing elements of free jazz, brutal prog, and hyper-kinetic sound collage, the recording actively defies traditional musical categorization. The incredibly dense, deeply manic project firmly established Yoshihide as a visionary, utterly uncompromising force in the Japanese experimental underground.
