Excavated from 1971 recordings in Tokyo, this archival release documents Masayuki Takayanagi's radical, infernal approach to free jazz. The aggressive, high-density improvisations utilized guitar feedback and noise in ways that were years ahead of their time, bridging the gap between avant-garde jazz and the ensuing Japanese noise scene.
