Butcher and Nakamura first played together in 2002 at 'Super Deluxe' in Tokyo at the invitation of promoter Hisashi Teruchi. The concert was released as half of 'Cavern with Nightlife' prompting Jason Bivins (Dusted Magazine) to write : 'Not only is Nakamura one of the worlds great improvisers working today, I am hugely impressed with Butchers ability to work in concert with him. Whisper soft soprano squeaks and gently coaxed feedback saxophone meld fluidly, seamlessly with the stripped-metal tones from Nakamura. And Butchers occasional crackles and sizzling flareups from his electronics derail some of Nakamuras more restrained inclinations in provocative ways, especially in the pieces wonderfully nasty conclusion. Let's hope there's more to come from this duo'. Further chances to develop the duo have happenend back in Japan, and in London and France. When the two musicians were invited to record in London for David Sylvian's 'When we return you won't recognise us' project they set the next afternoon aside to visit Dave Hunt's Shepherd's Bush studio and made the recording that is now 'Dusted Machinery'
