Album Notes & Community Reviews

Masami Akita dives deeper into relentless, chaotic tape manipulation and overwhelmingly harsh frequencies for this early cassette release. The completely unmusical, punishing drones heavily prefigure the apocalyptic, extreme volume aesthetics that would eventually define the international 'japanoise' phenomenon.
