Through the Looking Glass - Midori Takada (CD)

Considered by many a Holy Grail of Japanese music.

Through The Looking Glass" is Midori Takada’s first solo endeavor, a captivating four-song suite capturing her deep quests into traditional African and Asian percussive language and exploring contemplative ambient sounds with an admirably precise use of marimba. The result is alternatively ethereal and vibrant, always precise and mesmerizing, and makes for an atmospheric masterpiece and an unparalleled sonic and spiritual experience.

Originally released in Japan in 1983 by RCA Japan and at one time difficult to obtain in the Western world, the album is finally available in an official reissue!
