Susumu Hirasawa's attempt to approach Jungian psychology in his solo work. Previously only available in cassette-book form. Only band member Shunichi Miura appears with Hirasawa on this album; this is not a typical example of the band's work but the quality is high. The heavy sound which reached criticality in their previous work sublimates to give birth to this new pop form, which is very different from earlier P-Model. The tape-loops, sampling and Robert Frippesque guitar phrases are echoed in subsequent work. Now remixed for CD.
