The first album by Killing Time, a session band started in 1982 as an experimental unit by Chakra members Bun Itakura, Ma-To, and Kazuto Shimizu. The band's sound was based on jazz and rock, but also showed elements of experimentation and ambience that would be a stepping stone to their next album "Irene". A total of four tunes that show their foresight, include title track "Skip," is 12 minutes long and shows a variety of experiments, "Roujintachi No Yume" is avant-pop with Japanese elements, "Nichibotsu" contains Japanese spiritual ambience.
