The only review it received at the time was by Glenn O'Brian in Interview magazine; his response was a positive one, though he found the material ironic.

Pratical Concert 1976-78
GAP is an improvisation group which was founded by Kiyohiko Sano, Masaru Soga and Masami Tada in the Mid 1970’s.

Especially for Tada who was under tutelage of Takehisa Kosugi, GAP was a missing-link which lead him from East Bionic Symphonia to Marginal C…

The first disc is Electric Sound, the only album the Sonic Arts Union ever released as a group. Or…

Chairs Missing
Presented as an 80-page hardback book -- the size of a 7-inch, but obviously much thicker.

Chairs Missingwas at once more stark and more lush than its predecessor and has exerted its own influence on the course of cultural history, having laid down one of the earliest (if not the earlie…
