MASABUMI KIKUCHI - Japanesque: Six Elements Water(LP) aaa Reissued on 2LP black vinyl One of Japan's foremost jazz pianists Remastered by Taylor Deupree, who earned the deep trust of Ryuichi Sakamoto DESCRIPTION MASABUMI KIKUCHI, one of Japan's foremost jazz pianists, leaves behind his one-of-a-kind electronic music masterpiece ‘Japanesque: Six Elements’－now finally reissued! This elusive recording, created after the release of the acclaimed album ‘Susto’, is now revived as a 6-title SACD (hybrid) set and a 2-LP record, remastered by Taylor Deupree, who earned the deep trust of Ryuichi Sakamoto. "The music created for the 15-hour film, ‘Japanesque: Six Elements’, stands as Masabumi Kikuchi's singular electronic music legacy. Following his electric jazz/funk works ‘Susto’ and ‘One-Way Traveller’, the majority of his 1980s was devoted to creating this music. It stands as a record of his confrontation with pure electronic sound, a globally rare work that bridges the missing link between jazz and electronic music. It is nothing short of a joy to be able to reintroduce this to the world through Taylor Deupree's remastering." ― Masaaki Hara (Rings) "All life is said to have originated there. Within the blue liquid, saturated with light, new life is born once more. Time does not merely pass; it leaves something behind, without fail." "You'll instantly travel back in time to another dimension. There, a long time flows. No one can stop the overlapping of time, one second at a time. At that moment, when we feel the greatness of the Earth and the universe, we all look back at ourselves and stare at ourselves." (From the materials included with the laser disc at the time)
