Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
Acoustic turntable, engines, trumpet and accordion joined by Bassist Magarida Garcia: build long-form quietly detailed pieces that clatter and rumble, that expand and contract with the tension and release of deeply held breath.

Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
