More from the Inoue Takayuki Band [1977 Bark at the Sun, 1979 Man who stole the Sun, 1980 Water Band Wagon

Inoue Takayuki made a lot of music, he was almost as prolific as our wonderful Yuji Ohno, the soundtrack master-- remember his James Dean, The First American Teenager?

Inoue's Sunrise from 1976 appeared back here, and probably is his best work for us (in the progressive fusion, or progressive OST vein).  Nonetheless I slogged through some other soundtracks that are available digitally, to see if there are any other gems.  So here are some or a few of them.

From The Man who Stole the Sun, which is databased on this page, a track called Tokyo Dept. Store Toilet:

And much else along the same lines.  Surprisingly the 1980 one is not as good as the 70s music.

I'm going to post some more interesting Japanese music in the next few weeks, there's a whole ton of stuff from back in the day and then more hailing from recent decades: some fusion, some prog-fusion, and some true-blue classic prog rock too. No basic jazz, no simple folk, no humdrum pop, no ordinary, trite, commonplace sounds at all for at least I think a 'fortnight' of albums, perhaps more...   

And all from Japan, source in recent years on here of so many rare gems.  Stay tuned.
