Boredoms' 1998 release is 68 minutes of krautrock-influenced, unearthly noise that is as relentless as it is strangely beautiful. It strikes a perfect balance between the legendary Japanese group's earlier wacky noise-punk freakouts, and their latter-day cosmos-shattering, blissful psychedelia. All of the cuts on Super Ae contain this kind of cognitive dissonance; rough, yet somehow Godly in their upwards-stretching beauty. This is essential listening, folks.
