The word hypnosis gets thrown around a lot. We don’t use it lightly. The well seasoned Tokyoite presents 6 originals in this list that tick all the boxes for an altered state of consciousness: long interlocking grooves, suspended in mercurial harmony as seen in “Varuna” and “Interplanetary”, heightened focus and concentration in the broken, escalating rhythm of “Orcus” and the low-pH levels of “Quaoar”. Ultimately seen off by the elegant mesmerism of “Edgeworth’s” cascading snares and looping vocal chant, and the ever shifting balance of “Albion” and it’s unnerving ambience. A release deeply invested in spatial exploration, but is it the milky way, or a deep neural network we’re looking at?
