Info:

Following The Success In 2017 Of The Koharu Kisaragi/ryuichi Sakamoto Collaboration Neo-plant, Uk Label Lag Records Continues Its Revival Of Vintage Electronic Esoterica With Kissh&#333,, Tennyo, The 1984 Lp By Joe Hisaishi, Premier Film Composer Of Japan. Whilst Known Worldwide For His Elegiac Scores To Studio Ghibli Classics Like Princess Mononoke And Spirited Away, It S A Different Kind Of Soundtrack Behind Kissh&#333,, Tennyo, Intended As It Was To Be A Musical Accompaniment To An 80s Manga Of The Same Name. It S Also A Showcase Of Hisaishi S Lesser Known Talents As An Electronic Musician, Shortly Before He Became Composer Of Choice For World-renowned Directors Such As Hayao Miyazaki And Takeshi Kitano. On Kissh&#333,, Tennyo We Hear Hisaishi Unleash Synth Arpeggios With All The Suspense Of A Giallo Horror. His Cold Minimalist Ambience Evokes The Likes Of Terry Riley. Tracks Like &#34880,,,,,,,,,&#12398,,,,,,,,,&#25239,,,,,,,,,&#20105,,,,,,,,, ( Blood Feud ) Meanwhile Lighten The Mood, Running At Car Chase Speed With The Bounce Of Early Ymo. All In All, Befittingly Beguiling Music For The Cartoon Tale Of A Modern Femme Fatale Who Has The Powers Of An Ancient Deity (the Eponymous Kissh&#333,,,,,,,,, Tennyo Or &#21513,,,,,,,,,&#31077,,,,,,,,,&#22825,,,,,,,,,&#22899,,,,,,,,, , To Use The Album S Japanese Title).
