This album features live performances by the recently deceased free improviser/trumpeter Toshinori Kondo, German percussionist Paul Lovens and British percussionist Paul Lytton in 1982. It was released from IMA label run by Toshinori Kondo. Both recordings were made live in Osaka and Morioka during the "Kiraku-ni-free improvisation" tour in 1982. The sound field is filled with a variety of percussions and the sound of Kondo's trumpet moving around like a living creature. The organic interplay that unfolds from start to finish is, without a doubt, a superb performance.
