about

This is lite technopop with sound collages. It's like a technologocal age version of those "sounds of Japan" type albums western tourists would buy in the 50s and 60s. Sometimes its too repetitive for me but there are a lot of technopop era sounds and many parts that are clever, catchy and interesting listening, probably closest to Sakamoto's earlier synth tracks than say YMO if a comparison must be made.
by Nicholas D. Kent from "Japanese Electronic Music"

Ongaku: Ambient and experimental project of Mikio Kato in Japan, ex. B-2Dep't, Y-Setsu-O, Aikido, and Honey Mannie.
