前作『SOMETHING ELECTRONIC』が与えた衝撃のデカさを、日本の若きトラックメイカーたちの作品や発言から折りにつけ実感させられる。その傑作から8年の間にtofubeatsをはじめ、そうしたCHERRYBOY FUNCTIONに触発された才能が目覚ましい活躍を見せたわけで、この新作には、より広い地平に届く機運を強く感じるのだ。本作ではよりシンプルに研磨され、ボトムに厚みの増したサウンドが展開されているが、もとよりタイムレスな彼の作風がブレることはない。シカゴ・ハウスやデトロイト・テクノ、レイヴから目を逸らさずフレッシュに再生したトラック、どこまでもロマンティックなメロディー――エレクトロニック・ミュージックのクールネスを信じ続ける真摯な情熱が詰まった、またしても傑作!
