Satanstornade
Satanstornade is a studio album by Masami Akita and Russell Haswell, who had previously performed together under the name Satanstornade. The music was completely improvised and was mixed live direct to stereo at the house of a friend of Haswell.[1] On the sleeve all of the text and logos (except the barcode) are printed with a clear varnish, requiring one to hold it at an angle to read.
