Album Notes & Community Reviews

Forming a crucial part of their ongoing experimental series, this release heavily emphasizes motorik krautrock propulsion over their earlier noise-punk chaos. The extended, trance-inducing tracks rely on complex, cyclical drum patterns and swirling synthesizer manipulations. It firmly cemented the Japanese collective's transition toward the rhythmic, spiritual psychedelia that would define their later masterworks.
