VINYL FORMAT. A fine document of pure Japanese sonic nihilism and fresh, deconstructed electronic frequencies. Delving into the realm of deep listening, transported by way of analog synthesizers, Family Battle Snake (aka Bill Kouligas of Sudden Infact) weaves an electronic web that cocoons the listener in warm cascading frequencies, calling to mind classic electronic composers such as Charles Dodge, Eliane Radigue and even a hint of NWW. Astro (aka Hiroshi Hasegawa of the defunct C.C.C.C.) melds waves of squealing feedback and oscillating waveforms with biting distortion. Enveloped by haywire electronics and burbling loops and skree, Astro has constructed an impressive piece of modern electronic music of devastating magnitude. Limited edition of 330 hand-numbered copies, pressed on 140-gram vinyl, jacket housed in a two-tone silkscreened PVC sleeve with interweaving geometric designs.
