Good-Bye Moscow
A great Japanese jazz soundtrack from the late 60s by Toshiro Mayuzumi and Masao Yagi– as full of feeling
and creative inspiration as some of the best French jazz scores of the
New Wave! The tunes here mostly stand out as strong jazz numbers on
their own – although there are a few shorter, more introspective or
scene-setting passages – and although the players and notes are all in
Japanese, we can tell you that the music's mostly in a small combo mode,
with strong solos on tenor, trumpet,…
The Beast Must Die
A tense crime soundtrack from Japan by the legendary Toshiro Mayuzumi a Japanese composer known for his implementation of avant-garde instrumentation alongside traditional Japanese musical techniques. His works drew inspiration from a variety of sources ranging from jazz to Balinese music, and he was considered a pioneer in the realm of musique concrète and electronic music – served up in a host of shorter tracks with a really evocative feel! There's a definite jazz bent to some of the music, bu…
La Cloche
A totally cool little Japanese soundtrack from the 60s – done for a film
that features a bunch of younger teens who head out the beach – and
which is scored with music that perfectly fits the mood! There's a
really great range of 60s film modes going on here – as some tunes
feature wordless vocal scatting, others feature a bit of surf guitar,
bossa melodies, or even a few more playful themes – mostly served up in
short takes, and interspersed in a way that's nicely vivid and very
groovy!…
Only On Mondays (Getsuyobi-No Yuka)
A very cool mix of music by the legendary Toshiro Mayuzumi a Japanese composer known for his implementation of avant-garde instrumentation alongside traditional Japanese musical techniques. His works drew inspiration from a variety of sources ranging from jazz to Balinese music, and he was considered a pioneer in the realm of musique concrète and electronic music– served up here on a soundtrack that's almost
like having an audio version of a movie! The songs are all relatively
short, and are …
Bad Girl, Yoko
A marvelous jazz session from 1966 : Sadao Watanabe (alto sax) Terumasa Hino, Masahiko Togashi (drums) Masanaga Harada (bass), Masao Yagi (piano), Hozan Yamamoto (bamboo flute). "A totally cool Japanese soundtrack from the 60s – one that's as much of a
jazz album as it is a film score! The group features saxes from Sadao
Watanabe and trumpet from Terumasa Hino – part of a lineup that would
already make the music sound great on paper, although it's even better
on record! The tracks all have…

The Mirror / Stalker
It comes as no surprise that Andrei Tarkovsky, master of Soviet cinema, turned to composer Eduard Artemiev to score his two lyrical and haunting films, The Mirror (1975) and Stalker (1979), as he had done for Solaris (also available on Superior Viaduct). Artemiev’s magnificent soundtrack to The Mirror is the natural follow-up to Solaris. Dense, slow-moving, and often disorienting mood pieces with Baroque sensibilities resonate beyond the film’s dream-like images. For Stalker—Tarkovsky’s other sc…

Singles
The very notion of the Red Krayola putting out "singles" is a little surreal, since singles are by most definitions the most commercial face of the record industry. After all, if anything was consistent about the Red Krayola throughout their career, it was their uncompromising underground uncommerciality. Yet the band actually put out a good number of singles in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, and 21 tracks from those releases -- some of them quite rare, and some them actually previously unissued -…

excellence: the piano. The instrument is at the center of the scene, and
the prepared piano in the manner of John Cage is here
decontextualized and freely "In/Prepared" and reinvented in a very
personal way, placing objects of common use o…
