Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released as a tribute following the passing of several transgender vocalists who heavily featured in his previous live performances, the legendary Japanese producer extensively rearranges his past material. The album is incredibly dense and maximalist, fusing soaring synth-pop orchestration with highly dramatic, ethereal Thai choral arrangements.
