"The first part of Tanker was recorded live at Tokyo in 2004.
The second half is from a long-distance collaboration during
2005: for further material Okura and Yoshida recorded their
tracks in a studio, sent their files to Muller who, adding his
own sound-material, compiled three more pieces."
"Here the very presence of sound is the main focus. It has
deep end bass sounds, much more electronica and on top we find
the sounds produced by the Japanese: sparse, but always
upfront, present when sounding. The result are three highly
tense and intense pieces of music. Great stuff."-F.deWaard,
Vital
