Album Notes & Community Reviews

The highly acclaimed Japanese electronic producer delivered a remarkably pristine, highly futuristic fusion of classic Detroit techno and complex, atmospheric IDM. The incredibly intricate, hyper-rhythmic synthesizer programming heavily emphasizes clean, synthetic melodies over abrasive club aggression. The record gained massive international recognition, heavily propelled by the groundbreaking, MTV-staple anime music video for the single 'Extra'.
