With a fluid lineup centered around vocalist Haco and members hailing from diverse musical backgrounds, After Dinner has garnered considerable acclaim overseas for their sound that incorporates new wave, traditional Japanese music, contemporary music, avant-garde influences. This second album was released approximately five years after their 1984 debut album. Their sound has evolved, becoming more intricate and deeply labyrinthine, revealing diverse musical directions. Its addictive quality draws you in deeper with repeated listens. Masterpiece. Released by a Swiss indie label that also stocks UnknownmiX, it's rare to find it even in Japan.

ヴォーカリストHacoを中心に様々な音楽的バックグラウンドを持つメンバーが集結し流動的なラインナップを組みながらニューウェイヴ、日本の伝統音楽、現代音楽、アヴァンギャルド等を取り入れたサウンドで海外でも大きな評判を得たAfter Dinner。本作は84年のファーストアルバムから約5年の歳月を経てリリースされたセカンドアルバム。音響も進化しその迷宮のようなサウンドはより複雑に深く入り組みながら様々な指向を読み取る事ができます。どんどんと聴き込んでいきたくなる中毒性もまた魅力。大傑作。UnknownmiXなどを揃えるスイスのインディレーベルからのリリースで日本でもなかなか見かけません。
