In this collaborative album, Japan's groundbreaking producer Hoppy Kamiyama teams up with world-renowned bassist and producer Bill Laswell. The result is a well-polished, bass driven mix that provides listeners with an accessible expression of the duo's avant-garde experiments in composition and sound.

The eclectic mix of styles and techniques displayed on A Navel City is a refreshing break from the acid-electronic-jazz hybrids currently dominating the market. Hoppy and Laswell break through barriers and expertly blend their talents to create a sound completely their own… a liquid blend of jazz, electronica, dub, plus a touch of improv to keep things interesting. Tying it all together is percussionist Kiyohiko Semba, who provides a sturdy, rhythmic undercurrent that seamlessly fuses Laswell's deep bass lines and Hoppy's signature synth soundscapes.
