Comment: this batch of 7 compositions is a part of the discography of an imprint called Smoke with purpose to advertise Japanese music. What else we know about Japanese music but Japanese noise, space/psychedelic rock combos and Shibuya-kei, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Pizzicato 5? Indeed, the Japanese music scene is highly eclectic and synthetic and the intention to provide a review about it seems to be tautological a priori. Yet in reality there are up tracks by such artists as Gamacid707, Yossshy, Dan Kubo, Taura Yorihisa, Daisuke Kawashima, EZCO, Seaketa. In reality, in a sense, any sort of music review is not very informative and a bit at odds with the nature of a musical composition. In other words, chords cannot be fully covered by the words. Words create their own microsystem. Descriptively, there are up disparate sonic experiments, from airy vowel and picturesque ambient touches to artsy noise/glitch drenched electro developments and catchy Italo disco and Hi-NRG synth-pop/post-disco vibes to littered concrete music mixed appearances. As I have already hinted at my comment does not matter, the compilation does.
