A work that exudes a sense of artistic beauty—far from being a mere collection of previously unreleased tracks—brought together under the title *Pruning*. It offers a glimpse into the dizzying torrent of ideas from Will Yates—aka Memotone—where Fourth World, ECM, exotica, and sci-fi metamorphosis intersect in a nonlinear fashion. From atmospheric tracks reminiscent of a rainforest to “Not What I Thought”—with its sudden burst of warm, ethereal tropical guitar—and “Jim Starling and The Inverse Church,” a cosmic boogie-blues track that feels like Mike Cooper dashing through a dungeon, each track stands on its own while collectively forming a single, vast organism. An ideal escape across all 10 tracks. Mastered by Rashad Becker. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
