60 cycle hums, jagged static cracklings, and clipped electron pinpricks, mutating them into sublime, post-techno grooves

Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Music is full of refracted brass and wind tones, distorted tape loops, dead silent air and the occasional piercing shard of sound.
