Does anyone have any info on when Mo'Wax will release this? I might
just order it from Tokyo if it's only 2300 yen (cheap for a Japanese full
album). Ben gives the album an A.

p.s. Not exactly IDM, but if anyone's interested, September 30 is the release
date in Japan for Pizzicato Five's new LP, "Romantic '96", accompanied by a
single released on the same day.
