This week I bring you one of Kondo's most exhilarating jazz works. Part industrial, part avant-garde jazz, this Bowie-esque album provides the listener with a quiet, disconnected musical experience. The music is clearly inspired by Miles and Handcock but its coupled with unique Japanese flair and electronic beats. The way Kondo warps the sound of the trumpet gives this album depth and a darkness that contemporary jazz lacks - and yes, I'm talking about that crap you hear playing live @ every coffeehouse around the country. This classic 80s album wipes the floor with all that crap. Hard to find, but it's definitely worth a listen.
