Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"The miraculous duo of Yoshida Tatsuya & Imahori Tsuneo, heard previously on the Doubtmusci label as Territory, in their second release. DOTS is even more overpowering, speed, ramified rhythm, edits, and so on. First, they recorded their improvised music in studio, then they overdubbed various sounds, edited the materials and mixed different effects into the tunes. This is the music for the prog rock, math rock, post rock fans. Dense and Fiery !"-Doubt Music
