Akiyama release is real nice IDMish record, indeed. Regarding the Jirku CD,
better listen to senior influences of this second release, as it sounds as
a pale and dry imitation of other dub influenced releases. Find earlier
Alien8 first release for a more involving Jirku release.

"I deeply enjoyed the AE sparks release. I like the crisp sound of the
whole record, slightly reminiscent of Iceland's stiluppsteypa - reminiscent
in a good way: very few succeed in precise beauty, though many try. ... -
it is music. Diverse and yet continuous..."
Richard Chartier (line / 12k)
"Sparks has a rich intensity with its thick electrical drones. the
listener can really get lost in this piece and seeing the film only adds to
the experience even more. a favourite recording of mine which still grows
in beauty after repeated listening"
