Double vinyl LP pressing. A musical game of chess played by electronic musicians Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Sakamoto begins using the old Karkowski frontal attack, but Noto (aka Carsten Nicolai) counters, employing the little used but highly effective Yellow Magic defense. Ivories are tickled, knobs are twiddled and long phrases of white-room-with-black-curtain electronica are pushed across a lovely parquet floor with a feather duster made of the finest peacock plumage.
