    Groovacious, to borrow a term I think Jeff Lorber may or may not have coined. I like how it's a less clinical affair, too composed to consist of mere jams, but hangin' out in the same garden. :thumbsup:

    I might try to upload the extra songs to youtube sometime, they don't seem available, and they are awesome, slight variations on the double versions....

    The cd layout

    Keep me posted. How's Ken's new solo album, I've Been There? It looks like he played everything on it.

    People have already mentioned them, but I listened to Ryo Kawasaki's Juice last week, and Casiopea's Casiopea and Mint Jams this week. Fantastic, classic records, particularly the two Casiopea LPs

    This is stellar! I gather this was released only as a Laserdisc!? Five stars.

    Yes only on laserdisc, Hopefully one day it will be reissued on another format...

    I love this one,

    Did you watch the picture video that is with the laserdisc?

    Track 08 is the end all of home theater testing tracks.

    I've considered finding a Laserdisc player just for this and some other only Anime related Laserdisc only release

    Fukamachi has another one like this but only on VHS!!!

    That's some of Jun's coolest playing, a fine progressive electronic effort. Too bad the music doesn't appear elsewhere. (Box set, Jun?)

    I've never seen the Laserdisc. You own it?

    It's just a made up picture show, the anime is different, Jun was more concerned about trying the new LD format, that is actually analog




    The VHS one of a different anime

    Very nice. Certain images remind me of the space/concept art Syd Mead and John Berkey specialized in.

    All I need now is a LD player and a copy, a front projector big screen TV with the 3 color lights, and big vintage pioneer stereo with a double stack of 5 way speakers.

    My cousin used to have one. He gave me a pile of Laserdiscs, and no player. Some are still sealed. I'd mail them back, but the postage would be outrageous. :laugh:

    Gotta say I'm loving how cheap some of this music is on vinyl. I've got 4 x Kazumi Watanabe, 2 x Sadao Watanabe, 3 x Terumasa Hino albums incoming for less than the price of two Tone Poets.

    1977 flying kitty band 5-4-3-2-1 0

    Almost early city pop, some smooth jazz grooves with good vocals, really excellent

    Damn it.. I'm subscribed to qobuz and tidal and both have absolutely nothing of her.
    Listened to it on YouTube and it's absolutely my type of music :) reminds me a bit of grace mahya.

    That's one reason I don't bother with the expensive subscription streaming, they just don't have much of this kind of music...

    The regular stuff is fine from my $5 pandora or the Amazon that comes with my prime...I only stream when I'm out walking with headphones a few hours a week...almost never into my stereo.

    Yeah.. lots of it is on Spotify and YouTube at least. :) well time to look for a shop that sells the CDs at a reasonable price.
