It was also the landmark first release on his own label, Piano, which would go on to issue any number of unique classics by This Heat, General Strike and more. Then an art school student, Cunningham made the record with school friends (non-musicians), deploying glockenspiel, synthesizer, percussion, tape recorders, guitar, bass, piano, violin, water sounds and more in a small-ensemble, DIY homemade setting — improvisation and repetition born of raw first impulse, fumbled notes caught mid-performance, and sound collage, all pulled into shape with a fresh, budding sense of experimental minimalism and sheer ideas. A never-fading masterpiece from the eve of new wave, a gray-toned post-punk avant-garde honor whose free feel, halting hesitancy and innocence hit you right in the heart. An essential work with affinities to early Pascal Comelade. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
