Album Notes & Community Reviews

Tatsuya Yoshida's fearsome drum and bass duo decimates the stage in Tokyo, executing impossibly complex avant-prog compositions at breakneck speed. The album is a dizzying, manic display of technical precision, fusing Zeuhl-style operatic chanting with the abrasive dissonance of Japanese noise rock.
