Unusual various artists compilation bringing together a batch of rarely spotted (or totally unknown) artists operating within vast realms of minimal synth-pop / wave in early 80's Japan. Masataro Naoe's airy, light-as-a-feather 'Torokko' being the stand-out for me, but elsewhere there's eccentric pieces of new-wave occupying the lesser-known end of the much-explored territory of 80's Japanese music... (NM / NM - includes Obi / Insert).
