Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2006-02-27
Japanese experimentalist, prolific, narcotic, hypnotic, serene, disturbing. Layers and loops, 3 radio friendly length tracks followed by a long epic masterpiece. Great stuff, would fit in a classical set as well as a metal/noise one. Music to die to.

1) a beautiful disjunct loop, both noisy and pretty, unnerving and soothing
2) spacier sounding, definitely trippy
3) super cool bowing, distorted and weird, whoa!
4) fades in EXCEEDINGLY quietly, almost dead air for a minute, layers of lush beautiful noise, harmonic and composed somehow, reminiscent of previous rabbit room recordings
