Haino formed Aihiyo in 1998, principally playing a diverse range of covers (including The Rolling Stones, The Ronettes, and the Jimi Hendrix Experience), transforming the original material into Haino's unique form of garage psychedelia.
Nine tracks, including covers of a Spiders tune, The Ronettes' "Be My Baby", etc. Most staggering of all is the cover of the Stones' "Satisfaction", which neatly transforms Jagger's baby-in-a-Perspex-box mixture of rage and boredom into truly on-the-edge jumpy paranoia.
