This is the 40th (42nd to be exact) anniversary album of Chihiro S., who was active in the early days of Japanese chamber rock with Katra Turana and LACRYMOSA. As befits the culmination of a career, this album is a compilation of various formations, including solo, Maboroshi Pagans, LACRYMOSA PAGAN, and others. The arrangements mixing various elements of progressive/psychedelic/contemporary/ethnic music and a series of erratic irregular beats invite you to a different dimension. Cult movie theme songs such as "Black Dog" by Juro Karo and the theme song of Tomisaburo Wakayama's version of "Lone Wolf and Cub" which are revived after being arranged in a bizarre way, as well as progressive rock covers and Japanese nursery rhyme covers with an unprecedented approach, leave no time to catch your breath. The last track, "Wreck Again II," a remake of LACRYMOSA's "Joy Of The Wrecked Ship" is also noteworthy! Handcrafted by the artists themselves, deformed paper sleeve.
