Just a perfect-sounding record. Both in of the music and the pressing quality, this is a gem -
-
Edited 3 years agoIncredible album, excellent work by Akiko Yano, who recorded this album with 21 years old. Of sure was very influential for synthpop and pop to come in the coming years. All songs are good and complete each other during the album execution.
With hard synths in some tracks, this is one of my favorite albums so far, mixing jazz, synthpop, pop and the large oriental culture (shamisen, flute and etc).
