Recorded live at the end of 2004, a combination of Boredom's current lineup of three drummers and wild eyed leader Eye conducting and playing electronics, plus the addition of a plainsong choir, this thrilling album from Japan's Boredoms is absolutely staggering.

The music is ecstatic, like distilled joy, pitched perfectly between Boredom's combination of the primal energy of their amazing polyrhythmic drumming, with the hyperspeed futurism of an Osaka bullet train.
The music is one continuous piece, the choir bring an almost Philip Glass dimension to the proceedings, as well as a strangely 'spiritual' touch. The whole track feels like an exhilarating roller coaster, complete with false endings and complex freakouts.
