sinopsis:

With their main source of inspiration being Zeuhl progressive music, Koenji Hyakkei's music is naturally much in line with other bands from planet Kobaïa, including percussive Orffian vocals, the artificial language, the aggressive bass guitar, frequent rhythm changes and intricate, dissonant compositions crafted chiefly by Tatsuya Yoshida. And yet, the art produced by the Japanese quintet is never anything but original.
