"The Machineries of Joy 2015" is a re-issue of Tokyo's renown composer Kyo Ichinose's
one and only 1st album originally published in 2002.
All tracks remastered, and specially for this re-release contains his dreamy
brand new track "Angelic overflow" which was composed using
the sounds from the original recordings he made at that time.
The CD comes with a renewed packaging as a 182mm x 257mm size full-color visual book,

Ambient, modern classical music, electronica....
all of these genre names are useless when confronting against this eternal masterpiece.
