新世代ジャズの盛り上がりという追い風のなか、彼らはNY譲りのクールネスを失うことなく、より幅広い層へのアピールを可能にする理想的な作品を作り上げた。高度な演奏技術に裏打ちされた複雑なリズム・パターンやプログレッシヴな展開は本作でも圧巻だが、ヴォコーダーを用いた曲のポップな歌心にもいっそう磨きがかかったのが大きい。SPECIAL OTHERSやtoeの登場時のような、新たな潮流が生まれる可能性を感じる。


[English Translation]
Amid the tailwind of the growing public attention to new-generation jazz, Yasei Collective has finished up this perfect output that enables their music to reach a wider audience without losing the coolness of NY jazz. In this album, the complex rhythmic patterns and progressive unfoldment backed by their highly skilled performance are as stunning as ever, but the most significant highlight would be the further refinement of the pop soulfulness in their songs featuring vocoders. Felt in this album is the potential of an arising of a new trend, just like when SPECIAL OTHERS (Japanese jam band) or toe (Japanese math rock band) came in to the scene.
