nhk yx koyxen: hallucinogenic doom steppy verbs

Japanese mentalist Kouhei Matsunaga aka NHK yx Koyxen starts off with "218," a re-tuning of halfstep D&B to sound like Skeptical twysted into submission by Autechre -- coincidentally, NHK collaborated with Autechre's Sean Booth (and Mika Vainio) on 2010's 3. Telepathics Meh In-sect Er Connection (IMPREC 281CD) -- before delivering a 12-minute mastication of garage-techno and swingin' 303 lines in "845." On the flip, strapping, squawking acid bomb "932" features vocals from XenoGlossiX aka XiX, and is pursued, relentlessly, by the palate-cleansing rhythmic noise rip of "234" and a manic, sloppy kiss-off in the Gescom-like, Chicago-via-Tokyo acid burner "953."
