Vistoron
| Untitled | |
|---|---|
Vistoron (ビストロン, Bisutoron) is the first album by KAKU P-MODEL, a solo continuation of P-MODEL led by Susumu Hirasawa, released four years after the group had disbanded. It combines the intricacies of Hirasawa's solo work with the more intense tendencies of P-MODEL. The story of the album revolves around Anti-Vistoron, which are being sent out primarily through mass media to show people a false reality, and a mysterious Ashu-on (亞種音) organism which relays information to Hirasawa through a translation machine.[1]

Track information
- "Dual Perspective 3" is the third installment to a series of songs originally played by P-MODEL in 1981.[2] Remixes of the song, Dual Perspective 3.1 through 3.4, were played as introductions to each one of the four nights of the LIVE VISTORON concerts.
- The intro to "Adore me, I am TV" is a Sound collage, meant to simulate the changing of TV channels showing programmes in English. Samples used include a person speaking in Thai, a TV show host and a speech by George W. Bush.[3]
- The white noise in "Vistoron" is an edited part of the Min'yō vocals in "Skeleton Coast Park" from Water in Time and Space.[4]
