Love this album, it’s epic in length and will never get a vinyl release because of it.
Replying to save this for tomorrow!

It was amazing when I first discovered it. Maybe it was where I was at at the time, but it seemed like something entirely new. Ambient music with acoustic instruments. Avant-Guarde with out all the harshness.
I wish it was on vinyl. The label does vinyl releases, but they rarley make it to the US. I have one from a Greek pianist. A bit more romantic classical influenced
@blissfullychaotic good to see you here running this thread

Here's some stuff outta Japan I've been listening to recently.
That City-Pop compilation from LITA just came in this week and I'm loving it. Not the picks from the genre I'd necessarily want, but a good intro to some artists I didn't know.
Otoboke Beaver is a kick-ass punk quartet and they just released a new album:
Minyo Crusaders "rework historic Japanese fok songs with latin, African, Caribbean and Asian rhythms on their debut album 'Echos of Japan.'"

Adore them, so glad they're being talked about here! Aspidistrafly has a new album on the way, so very excited about that.
In the meantime, the new Kin Leonn album is great - def recommend it to fans of Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds, Jon Hopkins, The Field, Four Tet and the like.

Turntable lab has a boxset of studio ghibli 45s, most likely up at other places. I didn't jump on all the individual LPs because $$$ but I might jump on this just to get that Hosono opening for Nausicaa

The Asian category of my collection is WOEFULLY underrepresented. I'm following to get some good suggestions.
I'm a bit embarrased to admit, but I really liked the CRA soundtrack. I'd appreciate any recommendations that might be in a similar style.

I'm not sure what I like about it. Much of it is big-bandish or modernish covers... that's not what attracts me specifically. It's the non-western arrangements and feeling, the language, the exotic sound. I'm not sure how to describe it exactly. Anyway... I'll be following here and checking things out. Thanks!

Yea they are great. I forget how I found out about them. I wish their physical product was more available in the US.
Have you hear the new Visible Cloaks Album? They are Japanese New Age inspired, but the new album has a couple Japanese artist collaborating.
