The sound, built from synthesizers imitating acoustic instruments, is cheap yet carries an almost Zen-like atmosphere that somehow feels gorgeous at the same time — truly curious stuff. The dissonance within those bright tones is quietly unhinged, too. Selected by MONOPOLY CHILD STAR SEARCHERS aka SPENCER CLARK, this is home-recorded minimalism that slowly creeps up on you — no wonder it landed on his label. (Original Japanese text by Hino)
