oh wow, this is cool

I really should delve a little deeper into the Sak, but Thousand Knives Of is a proper bop and Async has some lovely moments

Ryuichi is one of the greatest composers of the last 100 years, bar none. Can't wait to hear this, the Thundercat reimagining slaps and I wanna hear what a longtime collaborator like Alva Noto is going to do with Sheltering Sky.
