Here's what mvns about this LP: "Arranged and composed by Keitaro Miho (he didn't perform in this album), this is a spiritual adventure to a world where traditional Japanese music clashes and melts with contemporary jazz improvisations. The result is a monster of an album, with soaring vocals, searing saxophone and shakuhachi solos, mad electric piano action, uplifting koto strummings, as well as grooves so hard it feels you got punched in the gut."
[There is a CD version (out-of-print) which is a disaster, sound quality-wise - crude needle-drop. There's also a vinyl reissue but it's out-of-print as well]

ReplyDeleteI think that there have been two cd reissues, I had the first one published by "bridge" from the lp because obviously the masters have been lost, but in my memory the sound of the cd reissue was not bad, I talk about the first reissue published maybe ten years ago but I can't check exactly I have sold this cd long time ago.
