Album artwork says it all. Exotica-tinged, phaser-heavy Japanese library music, with a whole lot of new age-inspired arpeggiation and sci-fi synth pads. All credits go to the very prolific Shoji, with a note that the Synthesizer “Space-Sizer 360” was invented and supplied by Noriyasu Fukuda. I can’t find anything about the synth or its inventor anywhere. Shoji put out a cool 39 records between 1971 and 1987, including what appears to be an entire album of Bee Gees covers–does anyone have this? I need it. Shoji also makes an appearance on our OMG Japan mix. For fans of Hiroshi Sato, Tomita, Joël Fajerman.
Lovely – thanks. Great run of selections going down here. Thanks for all the aural pleasures.
Excellent…almost as if Geoff Downes got together with Telex and made an instrumental album
thanks!
I liked this so much I picked up the album after from 1980: "Shambala"
Amazing! Finding this piece on my own took me a month of digging, and I'm happy to see it here. I found him through Shigenori Kamiya, out of curiosity for the DIGITAL TRIP series that they both contributed to – apparently they were both doing anime soundtracks back then.
Many thanks!
