Ippu-Do: Discography

Now here is one of my favorite groups. From humble New Wave/Surf rock beginnings to Avantgarde synthpop, Ippu-Do had a short but amazing run from 1979-1984. Under the guidance of Yellow Magic Orchestra and Japan, Ippu-do never achieved fully received the recognition of their peers but left their own imprint in the budding New Wave scene in Asia and Europe. If you enjoyed my earlier posts from the band's vocalist Masami Tsuchiya solo career, then I strongly urge you to check these out. I found these on a now defunct blog a few years ago and I am forever grateful for it! I also have a two albums from the bands keyboard player, Akira Mitake if anyone is interested! Enjoy!

Keiko Matsui - Collection

While I haven't had much time for the blog as I would like, I couldn't turn down the chance to post this album! Strangely enough I found it at a library in town and was very happy to do so. Keiko Matsui is a fantastic Jazz/New Age pianist who has had a long career in both Japan and the States. Some of you may be familiar her work as "Keiko Doi" in the all female fusion group, "Cosmos". I love her work with Cosmos and thats all thanks to WAX MASK posting up 4 of their albums. This post consists of a best of album featuring songs from her solo efforts in the 80s and early 90s.  I strongly urge everyone to check out both her projects, and if I am lucky, I will be able to track down more albums from her!

As a side note, I will be receiving a much sought after album within a few weeks that I am sure many of you will be interested in as well! Look out for it and I will try to get back to posting once my life decides to cut me some slack haha!
