Album Notes & Community Reviews

Inspired by the fictional substance from Kurt Vonnegut's 'Cat's Cradle', this largely instrumental release from the revered Japanese composer focuses heavily on heavily processed electric guitar. The album constructs vast, freezing atmospheric soundscapes that blend sweeping new age electronics with structured, progressive post-rock elements.
