Comments

cut-out hole on the bottom-right.

Inside The Groove

A true experimental electronica using tape recorders.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

All are very interesting tracks - the spontaneous improvisation between recorded tape of vocal dialogue and the percussion, or the playback of early performance and the current playback - everything is very interesting to listen to.

Of course all tracks are NOT catchy at all, and they have sorts of very experimental mood, so we have to choose appropriate mental moods of ourselves in order to fully enjoy such kinds :)

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

6 out of 10
