and My Lovely Wife is at work. These two factors mean that now is pretty much the only time I'll have for a while to give the below-pictured disc a proper listen.
From the catalog description:
This is Otomo Yoshihide's second guitar solo release on doubtmusic. The concept of this work, however, is complely different from that of the first. Here, feedback sound issues from two amplifiers, each connected to one of two guitars placed on a tabletop. Due to this stereo effect, the feedback mutually interferes, producing beatlike fluctuations, creating black holes into which the sound suddenly disappears, sounding completely different depending on the position of the ears, creating the illusion that the sound is coming from only one speaker when the listener is in certain locations, and so on, thus turning into truly interactive music. Because these effects cannot be obtained unless the sound coming from the two amps mutually interferes, we recommend listening without earphones or headphones, through speakers, with the sound as loud as conditions allow. Depending on the positions of the speakers, the interference effect and sound image will surely differ as well.
To which I can only add: kickass!!! And: Ow!
Uhhh....cool?

I remember that album well. I can hear Kasey Kasem now, introducing one of its many Top 10 hits, like it was yesterday.
