Saito Koji: Pop

Misleading title somewhat. This is a lovely new release on the French (mostly) digital label SEM. I was introduced to the the label by my son Frank, AKA Figit, who contributed a track to remarkably, and consistently good complition of one-minute tracks, One Minute for the Stars. Fukushima's Saito Koji had a guitar and atmoses piece on that comp, and this album in some ways follows on, with great swirls of blissed out drones generated, I'm guessing, originally on guitars - reminscent of Fennesz but in no way derivative. Anyway, have a listen to the stream below, and as I've been saying with the Twilight Science releases, if you like it make sure you buy and download the lossless FLACs!
