7-Toku is the second album by Space Streakings.[3] It was released on October 3, 1994, by Skin Graft Records.
Critical reception
[edit]The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the album "a vivid new listening experience rather than a formulaic copy of a western style."[1] Trouser Press wrote: "Far more boisterous and a lot less methodical than American industrialists, the quartet rushes in and around its tracks, layering bits on to a point of distraction in which chaos would come as a welcome relief."[4] The Chicago Reader wrote that the album "finds this whacked foursome proffering more cartoonish, progged-out approximations of the infinitely superior Boredoms."[3]
