Album Notes & Community Reviews

The veteran Japanese electronic pioneer crafts an impossibly dense, hyper-theatrical pop opera with 'The Man Climbing the Hologram'. The record combines his sweeping, operatic tenor with maximalist electropop production, progressive rock structures, and highly abstract sci-fi conceptualism.
