LP version. One of the most tripped-out albums you"ll ever hear from Japanese keyboardist Masahiko Satoh, and that"s saying a lot, considering some of his other avant sessions of the "70s! This one"s from 1971 and a really free-form jam -- recorded so that each of the two long tunes takes up a side of the record apiece -- one with really full-on, frenzied noise courtesy of some ring modulators played by Satoh, undercut with some really heavy drums from Louis Hayes, a surprising entry for a session like this! Side two has a sound that"s a bit more organic -- some spare percussion at first -- but the record then moves into noisier territory too, and even features some cool, scatting female vocals. Highly recommended! Housed in the original LP gatefold sleeve.
