This live (and very lively) exchange teams legendary Japanese musician Keiji Haino with Belgian duo Josef Dumoulin and Teun Verbruggen, for an improvisational bout in four rounds that sounds like it might have been bloody. All three players are playing hard on this set, with Verbruggen's solid drum beatings being the pulse that holds the group together as Haino and Dumoulin skitter off in various different directions, while still managing to keep everything together. The opening ‘Non-Dark Destinations’ is a lengthy and involved work and the rocker here, with tossed salvos of electronic flak bursting through the thick mesh curtain of growling guitar and rumbling Fender Rhodes organ that has also been erected. Elsewhere Haino's vocal violently shakes up ‘Hotel Chaika’, while ‘Snow Is Frequent, Though Light, In Winter’ offers up a form of respite before ‘Tonight’ draws in for one final ethereal blast of flute and voice.
