The experimental music unit consists of Kyosuke Terada, the leader of many bands and important events, and Kentaro Nagata, a musician/engineer/producer whose activities range from pop to avant-garde.

Their first full-length album, "MAZE," was produced with the participation of many artists and creators, as is typical of the duo's wide range of activities.

The tracks were recorded by Bay City Rolaz in a studio in Minato Ward, Tokyo, and mixed by Sayaka Botanic and Tzu Ni with piano, violin, voice, and electronic sounds by Nagata.

The album also features a remix by Yuko Araki, drummer of the tribal dream psychedelic band KUUNATIC, who has just released a solo album on the prestigious ROOM40 label and an album produced by Tim DeWit, formerly of Gang Gang Dance.
