The prolific Japanese noise guru delivers yet another installment of guitar absolution as arresting as anything he made prior. While many fans of the enigmatic noiseician believe his power trio Fushitsusha is the context that he is best heard in, his solo work is always a discreetly private and seemingly candid display of guitar meditation.
