To expand on what 6581 said: This album is essentially an audio documentary (without commentary) on how the song "あやとり" was made, slowly changing from an upbeat guitar instrumental with a shuffling beat, to the dramatic final version. The tracks showing the 'before and after', as it were, are A2/A3 and B8, and those are included alongside A4/A5 and B7 as the four bonus tracks on the CD reissue of their self-titled album. The rest of this release is studio chatter and the band testing out synth timbres (and in the case of A1, a very awkward fade out of the final version that begins fading during the second verse.) This could be considered important by die-hards, but that's it. It's not a proper studio album in any sense of the term. The one takeaway is that B8 is a full-length instrumental for "あやとり".

Do avoid this record. Not a rare gem. No suprises. Simply boring rehersal take outs. Only for very sad super fans and completist, collectors. Mp3s can be found floating around on intrenet, slsk etc.

Edit: got an idea, thanks !
