"Artist Wataru Kasahara originally hoisted the standard for destructive “th’error’py” back in the 1980s and since then he has continued to create both art and music, with Art into Life releasing an album under his Radio Embudagonn moniker in 2013. This current release is a sprawling tapestry documenting the story of the battles between the monstrous Squadron Slugmaster and a mysterious organisation called International Ill-Shaker. Kasahara began recording this work in 1986 and only completed it in 2016, a genesis of thirty years. This masterwork progresses through instability, as studio talk, readings and narration intermingle with insane and comical noise. It is designed around an extendable concept so listeners can bring new layers of evolution to the work.

The handmade packaging has been specially designed so the jacket will gradually deteriorate during transit, creating slowly morphing forms. The set comes with a cassette containing the tracks that wouldn’t fit on the LPs, a 16-page book containing illustrations of the main characters, and an additional 3-page insert describing the work in detail. Limited to 200 sets, physical-only release."
