TORU TAKEMITSU & SEIJI OZAWA & Toronto Symphony LP 69

 A couple of Discog comments that I agree with:  referencing Asterism / Requiem / Green / The Dorian Horizon (LP, Album) SB 6814

Lostwinter May 21, 2023

I’m no expert in classical music but I can say with confidence that this record is fantastic. Of the 4 compositions Asterism is particularly good, with its Cecil Taylor-style piano and discordant strings. Just wait for the crescendo, it’s seriously intense.

Adam_A Aug 29, 2021

Asterism is the "star" piece here, reminiscent of Penderecki and Ligeti- a complex piano piece of interstellar properties that culminates in a drone-based cacophony of brilliance. The three remaining pieces are "lighter" (if one can use such a term for these modern works!) but equally enjoyable. Good, rugged modern classical. Not for everyone though. It probably won't make a fan out of you if you didn't like this kind of approach in the first place.

Kead Dennedys - Too Drunk To XXXX 7 94

REPOST Request:  Thanks to Brian Guy, here is his intro:  No this is not some rare issue that has the name spelled wrong on the cover, this is a Japanese band that Does covers of DK Songs. Since I am big into covers, I just had to pick this up to see what it sounded like, and this does not disappoint.
Ishikawa on vocals does a pretty good Jello Biafra impersonation and delivers on all three songs.
This was released in 1994 on K.O.G.A. Records .Enjoy,Brian Guy

YUTAKA - Love Light LP 78

Well here it is post number 35 in one week!  Perhaps a record since each posted artist may have one or more vinyl in a post.  But worth it for a laptop full of everything I ever ripped along with other files found during blogging...now all very accessible via laptop...however still ten or so boxes to go!
This Japanese artist will leave a good impression.

V/A - Skullping: A Tribute To Gastunk 99

REPOST Request:  And a great one it is!  My early days of blogging in 2007 got me into Gastunk releases right away.  Highly recommended for those who want newer sounding music that is cutting edge...this raised the bar in 1999 and I don't think it's gone backwards since then that's for sure...not in my world.           http://www.mediafire.com/download/q1617h3z89gd6el/VA_Skullping_-_A_Tribute_to_Gastunk_-_1999.zip
