Susumu Hirasawa's second guitar album is released after 19 years.
It is the world of 'What Is to Come' as seen in the 'Beam Light from the Needle's Eye.'

Visual and unconventional Japanese titles, and the guitar sound as transparent as glass will serve as your guide to its fascinating world.
A singing voice without lyrics appears between the simple sounds.

Enjoy the booklet with a wealth of colour and photographs.
With a message from Hirasawa, you will feel as if you are looking at a map for your journey.

Once you are determined to take the first step on your journey, make full use of the 'Primitive Purity' you have, and position your own 'The Book of Phytoelectron' in your mind.
It is a passport to travel to the world of 'What Is to Come' as seen in the 'Beam Light from the Needle's Eye.'

平沢進2作目のギターアルバムが19年ぶりに登場。
それは「針孔の光芒」に見る「これから来るもの」の世界。

少なめな音群を縫って現れるわずかな歌声に言葉はなく、視覚的で型破りな日本語のタイトルと、ガラスのように透明なギターの音色がその艶やかな世界へのガイドとして貴方を導くでしょう。

豊富な色彩と写真で饒舌なブックレットから漂う、平沢からのメッセージと共に旅立つための地図を見るような高揚を楽しんでください。

旅へと一歩踏み出す決意が出来たら、貴方が持ち得る「原初の清廉さ」を総動員して貴方の心に貴方自身の「植物電子の本」を位置付けてください。
それが「針孔の光芒」に見る「これから来るもの」の世界へ旅立つためのパスポートです。
