Comment: in fact, what reasonable to say about this 11-track outing by a Japanese experimental artist? It chimes like your worn home machines were in connection with contact microphones and thereafter those thin, bleak sounds coming out of them were powerfully amplified and recorded. Lots of unstable levels in electricity and voltage, lots of mechanical deviations and industrial spectres are represented over there. No waste of surrounding sounds to be implemented into a miserable everyday's glimpse of a nowadays human being. No intimate community, no close society, just living in an over-regulated and dully systematised existence with silently shrieking machines in the middle of the blocks, waste and cerebral and physical decline called the city (the so-called civilization). Let`s feel more physical hunger for as much as possible to purify and saturate your senses (at the same time as a main measure to avoiding intoxication/diminish contamination of physical, physiological and mental environment). Similarly to this outing (a piece in the discography of Moving Furniture Records) which does nothing to say just reflecting upon something repulsive and unpleasant.
