Various Artists – Tokyo Glow (Vinyl LP, Nippon Columbia / Wewantsounds, 2022) – Mint/ Sealed

A selection of late-70s and 80s Japanese city-pop and mellow funk drawing on smooth grooves, soft keys and bright melodic phrasing. The sequencing moves between laid-back boogie, atmospheric pop and warm, understated jazz-fusion touches. It’s a relaxed, glowing snapshot of Tokyo’s nighttime soundscape.

Double Vinyl LP. Mint/ Sealed.
