(Polystar - PSCR5592) CD $25.00
Released in 1997, the second major label effort by Yamamoto Seiichi (Boredoms) and Tsuyama Atsushi (Acid Mothers Temple), with guests aplenty, reaches new heights of what our colleagues at Aquarius call “toothy melody and sludgy sweetness, along with their usual tour through the murky depths of rock’s weirder edges.” Japanese import.
