From the title we already know this is from Japan so naturally it's bound to be fucked up. Fucked up in a way that's listenable but all over the place. Perhaps Igorrr would be a good comparison to this album albeit Kashiwa takes on a more elegant approach to his music. By elegant I mean that it's not attacking you all the time like Igorrr does with 10 different sounds. It has a continuity and structure of carefully knitted classical music with rapid IDM beats and twitchy sounds.
The opening 7 minute song is perhaps a bit out of place? It sets a really calm mood which this album certainly does not have. The moment Requiem begins shit starts hitting the fan. Drum melodies with apocalyptic choruses and the usual twee, drrr, skree, electronic sounds. Yes, admire my reviewing vocabulary because I am the next messiah (of false promises). Although based on sampling instrumental classical instruments there are few tracks that go into some other directions and even genres. Some are hip hop instrumentals and some are mash ups of all kinds of things but they all form this pleasing sound that is present throughout the whole thing. Very enjoyable electronic music.
