This latest collaboration between Japanese drone/sludge/rockers BORIS and legendary noise artist Masami Akita (MERZBOW) follows their previous matchups

Megatone and 04092001, and returns to the drone-heavy fields explored on Megatone and BORIS� Flood. Languidly strummed

acoustic guitars open the album, gauzy and delicate as single notes are plucked and hung on a wide open expanse of sound. Eventually far-off rumbles and

approaching electronic flashes begin to appear around ten minutes in. At twenty minutes into the track, the roar of massively downtuned guitar crashes in, as

Merzbow beams in crackling electronic shrapnel and glitchy noise over the amorphous swells of noisy powerdrone. The final half of the record crawls out of

the heavy swirl and drifts into black with ghostly blots of computer noise and feedback, as the album�s opening guitar movements re-appear as the coda.

Packaged in an awesome Japanese �style gatefold package, with black and white and metallic printing designed by Stephen O�Malley. Recommended.
