Second DVD of this power trio, here performing live at Mission's, Tokyo in December 2008, intense improvised rock from three masters of sound and speed.
"Second release by a new super-group featuring Keiji Haino, Makoto Kawabata (Acid Mothers Temple), and Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins). Recorded live in Tokyo in December 2008. An hour's worth of sharply photographed alternately dense, brutal, coruscating and beautiful interplay from three of the hardest hitters in the Japanese underground, with the interplay between Haino's scalding, molten darkness and Kawabata's crunch and ripple particularly invigorating. For those confused by the title, the trio's previous release on Magaibutsu was entitled Ichi to ichi ga kasanatte shimaumade ('Until one and one come to overlap'). This one is Ichi to ichi to ichi ga kasanatte shimaumade ('Until one and one and one come to overlap'). Just so you know. Fifty-nine minutes. Region-free NTSC DVD."-Alan Cummings
