This is one of my all-time favorite albums. With this 14-tracks CD, Tetsuo Tsuri manages to blow up my mind into tiny pieces each time I listen to this. The album has a grainy sound with lots of clicks, almost like an old vinyl record. But here, that's what makes the whole beauty of it. "Milieux" is an ambiant, Vladislav Delay style track, with a click & buzz rhythmic specific of Chain Reaction releases, which resembles "Oshikicho #controlled", another great Matrix track. The "Red Films" and "Blue Films" are overall quite short tracks (except Blue Films #5 and #2) but they always manage to catch your mind to bring it to foreign landscapes. "Zkj", "Flora" and "See Off" are superb beat-driven grainy tracks with lots of space and delays. "Nimbus" makes you listen to the heartbeat of a giant machine. "Isolated Dot" is a moody 4/4 beat track with tons of harmonics. And at the end is "Isthmus #fast", a long and beautiful track, very close to Shinichi Atobe's "The Red Line" (on the same label) which has the same kind of atmosphere : melancholic and timeless.
