A repress of the inaugural release from EXTRA, aka CARL TRAUTMAN, head of 〈KIHON IDO〉, a label whose subsequent catalogue numbers 2 and 3 both scored hits. From "Visigoth" (sample1), where synths and bass pulse vividly inside a pleasantly noisy sound space that tickles the ear, to "Obscurity" (sample2), a deep breakbeat cut toying with syncopation, and on to "Full Circle" (sample3), the crowning acid machine funk in compound meter — an essential record that signals the label's direction of pursuing curveball leftfield techno. Vinyl only! (Original Japanese text by Akie)
