Takada's compositions have a remarkable way of affecting the imagination. Her minimalist, contemplative music is
filled with the concept of infinity and reminds us of a moon voyage, falling stars, a journey into the ocean, or a walk
in the garden. The trans melodies, initially simple, begin to loop and splinter, their rhythm breaking and thickening,
slowly drawing the listener into another reality. - .. LOOKING GLASS / STOUGHTON TIP ON SLEEVE / 180GR.Double colored vinyl LP pressing.
