      • Perspective is P-Model's fourth album.


      Overview


      Perspective has a tense atmosphere, a continuation of the darker style exhibited on Potpourri, and the arguably the heaviest of any P-Model outing. Bandleader Susumu Hirasawa shouts his vocals to the backdrop of loud drums and bass, instruments randomly cut in and out, guitar parts are sinister. The compositions are simple and lyrics abstract.
      Hirasawa focused on sound, insisting on natural reverb instead of digital reverb, and so recording the drum parts on the landing of a stairwell in the building where the album's studio was located. This method led to complications and constant fighting between P-Model and the recording engineer, who insisted on using digital reverb. In the end, it was settled without the engineer and all recording was made Hirasawa's way.

      Perspective II



      Perspective II is an alternate version of Perspective originally released exclusively on Compact Cassette, a first for the group. While it has no drastic changes from Perspective, Perspective II has a different mix and two new instrumentals. Some of the new material features the use of a drum machine, which is completely absent from Perspective.
