Rinji Fukuoka is one of the iconic figures, along with Makoto Kawabata or Keiji Haino, of Japanese psychedelic rock. He is the founder of the bands Overhang Party, Majutsu No Niwa, Tangerine Dream Syndicate and he also plays with Sachiko and Masayoshi Urabe. Michel Henritzi is a member of the noise combo Dustbreeders. He also regularly plays as a duo with Junko (from Hijokaidan). He also played with Jojo Hiroshige, Masayoshi Urabe, A Qui Avec Gabriel, Tetuzi Akiyama, Tamio Shiraishi and Nihilist Spasm Band. On this album Rinji Fukuoka (electric violin) and Michel Henritzi (lapsteel guitar) prove to be a perfect and interesting combination. As soon as the duo starts spinning like dervishes, a total psychedelic immersion occurs, or a velvet implosion. This is spectral music made of repetitive patterns that reminds of Tony Conrad.
