Album Notes & Community Reviews
Fusing sweeping symphonic arrangements with glitchy electronica and operatic vocals, 'Byakkoya' represents the culmination of Susumu Hirasawa's grandiose futuristic pop vision. Several compositions from this surreal, dense opus were prominently utilized in Satoshi Kon's acclaimed animated thriller 'Paprika'. The record remains highly revered for its cinematic scale and unmistakable idiosyncratic production.
