Released on the trusted German label Pingipung, known for records by Sven Kacirek, Andi Otto and MD Pallavi, and a driving force behind the reappraisal of Ainu music and the work of Umeko Ando across Europe and Germany over the past several years. Curious, singular automated-instrument machines drive an experimental style of cute, halting rhythmic loops, while poetically drifting prepared-cornet melodies and spatial sound design are spun together as if by alchemy — unfolding a wonderful musical world that is nostalgic, European, exotic, surreal and utterly mysterious, wrapping the listener in a one-of-a-kind comfort like some earthly paradise. The faint fragrance of dance-music groove is equally captivating. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
