Following the release of these tracks, the band was sued by the electronics manufacturer Panasonic—which shared their name—and was forced to change their name to Pan sonic.

Irregular beats, thick sounds, and resonant tones.
The masterpiece track “Murtaja” (sample 2)—a monumental landmark of techno/electronic sounds featuring a distorted kick drum from the TR-808 and ferocious hi-hats—is also breathtaking.

“Music with Changing Parts,” a seminal work in the history of minimalism, was written for a flexible ensemble configuration; performers can freely choose their parts from a score divided into eight staves and switch parts upon a designated cue. This allows the ensemble configuration to change spontaneously, creating sonic contrasts. This recording ...Read more (Original Japanese text by Adachi)features a 54-minute utopian masterpiece spread across two LPs, created through a new interpretation in which the musicians first played the eighth-note sections and then re-recorded the piece by layering longer notes on top.

The score is a unique sublimation of minimal repetitions and pauses, a crystallization of poetic ambience, and the familiar tones of synthesizers and an experimental spirit deeply connected to images of butoh, dreams, etc. "Oldfashioned," which exceeds 15 minutes, is also a masterpiece. The 15-minute-long "Oldfashioned" is another highlight, with many wonderful moments. Masahiro Sugaya himself cut the original DAT tapes and optimized them for 180g weight vinyl. This is a valuable page of 80's Japanese ambient and multimedia performance art experimentation. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)

As a result, unavoidable background noise, conversations, and other extraneous sounds may occasionally be heard. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)

This work was created as part of the multimedia piece "Lac Noir," sparked when French filmmaker/contemporary artist Emmanuel Raquin-Lorenzi encountered a vision of the "snake-woman" in 1976 at the autumn fair in Negreni, in Romania's Transylvania region, known as the setting for Dracula. Drawing on material gathered during fieldwork in the land of ...Read more (Original Japanese text by Adachi)the snake woman between 1990 and 1992, it's a musique concrète attempt to render the image of this snake woman through sound.

Joining him is Pharaoh Sanders, a legend of the spiritual jazz world who remains an active master to this day, having energetically explored numerous cross-genre sessions—including collaborations with Moroccan Gnawa and the world music avant-garde—and the London Symphony Orchestra, featuring strings, come together for a miraculous session. The grand "Promises" suite, consisting of nine parts. Delicate electronics, the rich resonance and flavor of the saxophone, and the beautiful performance of subtle, understated orchestration create a harmonious blend. This music—a meditative, spiritual, modern ambient utopia that seems to float away—is played slowly and deeply, alongside a profound sense of spatial aesthetics. Furthermore, the artwork was created by Julie Mehretu, a contemporary artist from Ethiopia who was selected as one of “Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World” in 2020, resulting in a gem of an art piece that forms a trinity with the music. I highly recommend this album. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
