However, his more experimental side is still quite apparent on this album, especially with tracks like scrambled memories where he lets go of the reigns and allows his music to be more liquid and follow it's own inclinations. this is a perfect introductory release from such a fine artist, although he is by no means a new-comer to the scene. he already has a pair of releases with the wonderful sirona-rec and another release on the netlabel "less ego more noise". I've not heard them as of yet, but if they're anything like this release, I'm certain they're worth the download!!! grab this one and throw it on your portable media device! :D Shokushu_-_Clouded,_Crowned,_Conquered.
