Considered a holy grail of Japanese music by many, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThrough The Looking Glass\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is Midori Takada's first solo endeavor, a captivating four-song suite capturing her deep quests into traditional African and Asian percussive language and exploring contemplative ambient sounds with an admirably precise use of marimba. The result is alternatively ethereal and vibrant, always precise and mesmerizing, and makes for an atmospheric masterpiece and an unparalleled sonic and spiritual experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTakada's compositions have a remarkable way of affecting the imagination. Her minimalist, contemplative music is filled with the concept of infinity and reminds us of a moon voyage, falling stars, a journey into the ocean, or a walk in the garden. The trans melodies, initially simple, begin to loop and splinter, their rhythm breaking and thickening, slowly drawing the listener into another reality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e1. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eMr. Henri Rousseau's Dream\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e2.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eCrossing\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e3. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eTrompe-l’œil\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e4. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eCatastrophe Σ\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Midori Takada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57282733539660,"sku":"VY10251","price":7.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7790\/1132\/files\/midoritakada.png?v=1776147862","url":"https:\/\/spinvinyls.shop\/products\/takada-midori-through-the-looking-glass-vinyl","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
