Album Notes & Community Reviews

The veteran Japanese composer continues his long-running exploration of cyberpunk aesthetics and theatrical electronics on this meticulously arranged album. Known for his unique vocal phrasing and complex, symphonic synthesizer work, Hirasawa creates a grandiose, apocalyptic sound world that feels both futuristic and distinctly idiosyncratic.
