ALTERED SOUL EXPERIMENT by ANTAL

A Fusion of warm Japanese music by Rush Hour's Antal!"Returning from his recent exploration of Japan, Antal�s ASE submission contains purely Japanese artists and soundscapes. From rare jazz-fusion to traditional Japanese music, this is an incredibly strong representation of the countries long history of unique and extremely talented artists. �I had December and snowflakes in Japan on my mind. I used to love the Takeshi Kitano's movies for instance but also the soundtracks. So I have a weak spot for this Japanese nostalgia� For the listener, Side A will be a delicate introduction into the abyss as Antal meticulously builds upon the atmospheric soundscapes of ambient music with classical piano jazz before introducing a collection of slow jams to conclude the first half. Side B continues the warmth of downtempo releases before diverting to the electric realms of electronica and synth-heavy productions. Antal�s masterclass in Japanese music has found a comfortable home whilst offering something completely new in the ASE series" Paul Moulden
