once upon a time i went to a bathhouse in japan for the first time.  it really was not what i expected, it wasn't wood, it wasn't elegant, it wasn't sexy.  i was with one friend naked in front of a bunch of tired old men.  i made the most of it, crouched onto a grimy plastic footstool washed myself and got in the big bath.  after a while, i noticed a one man sized bath off to the side.  i don't speak japanese, but my good friend does, so i asked him what was the idea with the solo tub.  he told me there was an electric current running through the bathwater inside this tub. i had to try it.  it was one of the craziest sensory experiences of my life, i shall never forget it.  for the first ninety seconds, on the inside i screamed silently to myself, "ohmygodohmygodohmygodihavegottogetoutofhere"... then something happened and my body got used to it and i was in heaven my every sense of touch hightened by electric current... then after several minutes, the preceeding feeling returned, "ohmygodohmygodohmygodihavegottogetoutofhere"... so i got out.  this record does not sound anything like that experience.  however, i was thinking, if i had to describe the sound of taking a bath by using electronic sounds instead of words, it might sound like this record.
