Album Notes & Community Reviews

Tatsuya Yoshida's fearsome drum-and-bass duo unleashes an overwhelmingly dense barrage of manic technicality on this formidable release. The project distills the operatic intensity of Zeuhl and the complex time signatures of avant-prog into a punishing, fast-paced blast of brutal prog that operates at maximum volume and precision.
