Tried this disc after seeing it mentioned on numerous occasions, and I
have to say it is quite good - one of the most engaging and surprising
releases I have heard in a while.
What's nice about the release is that this naohiro fujikawa fellow
really has a knack for making the unmusical musical. Pretty atonal
melodies that drift in and out with noise added. Some of the percussion
has this weird sound to it which is similar to the sound of my old
farting DR-660. Lots of random freaky noises. My favorite is the fifth
track "bit 2" which has these warped synth textures and percussion that
sounds like icicles shattering in the background. Lovely stuff.
As far as similar releases, I'd say kind Atom Heart-ish, but with more
of a jazz sensibility and more dreamy textures.
