Some words on this issue: MOROI MAKOTO: “Music for Shakuhachi” (Victor – VX-64)  Bloody damned rare, overlooked and totally vanished (since the day it was released) Japanese avant-garde masterpiece!! Original 1971 pressing that quickly sunk into complete obscurity following its release. Moroi attempted here to fuse traditional instruments with an avant-garde and experimental mindset, in which he succeeded brilliantly. He aimed at trying to amalgamate the traditional techniques with a progressive musical syntax of contemporary music, add new meanings of expression and to pursue newer tone qualities through performing techniques unseen in a traditional method. So does he apply the principle of “probability” to some of the compositions and the player’s movements, to whom a number of musical fragments are presented and which they are free to play at their own choice and interpretation. Strings often imitate the musical patterns characteristic of the Shakuhachi playing. Through his unique instrumentation, Moroi succeeds wonderfully well in producing astonishing sonic effects. At times when a performance reaches its climax, sounds get amplified several times as loud as the actual volume through a special tape operation/ manipulation peculiar to multi-channel recordings. Following some climaxes a chaotic mass of sounds rapidly subsides into clear melodic lines played by the Shakuhachi. Stunning tour de force and rarely if ever seen original pressing. Highest recommendation if you are interested into either Japanese avant-garde or traditional free-blowing aesthetics like Watazumido…

Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
