Notes

This album consists of six pieces of music, two from our previous albums (A1, A2), two recorded live in Tokyo last year (B1, B2), and two new pieces: Piano Music, recorded in a basement whilst I was staying in Tokyo after our tour, and The Toy which we recorded today.

My copy looks perfect, but there's a lot of distortion on the first track, "The Penguin Cafe Single." Anyone else experienced this.
