Never would have expected this to make it to the front of HN, but I'm glad it did. This album is well worth listening to, especially the closing track Catastrophe Σ. Even though it's something of an ambient classic today there's not a lot of music that sounds like it outside of the Steve Reich school of minimalism. It captures a little of the explosion of creativity that took place in Japanese culture in the 80s and 90s, and it's great to see that it's managed to break through to Western audiences.
For the record I also discovered this album through YouTube. Through discussions with my colleagues I get the feeling that a lot of what gets recommended to me on YouTube isn't unique to me. Millions of hours of content uploaded a day and somehow we all end up watching the same stuff. Funny how that works.
