MUKAI & GARY SMITH, CHIE - eight+

"Improvising guitarist extraordinaire Smith hooks up with Japanese underground legend Mukai for this round of exhilarating improvisations. An intriguing meeting between the 1000 year old horse tail bowed er-hu and electric guitar. Following the issue of the previously unheard Bill Fay 3rd LP (see features in The Wire/Uncut/Mojo) Smith's profile is high and this would be a good time to reassess the career so far of an uncompromisingly original and underrated musician." - Paratactile.
