Omni Sight Seeing
This was his first studio album in four years since his last album, "Endless Talking", and the first release since moving to Epic/Sony Records. This work was the result of sessions and collaborations with Arabian musicians, with an inclination towards the 'world music' that was gaining attention at the time. Deployed often in pop culture as punchline, Hosono takes such sight-seeing and transforms it into a metaphor for sample-heavy electronic music, drawing from various cultures and weaving them…

Tales Of The Dying Earth
A bizarre musical creature called Scrying Glass appeared a few years ago on the radar of the weird music fans, leaving us speechless: in Scrying Glass' music, there is the whole history of the most oblique and (today) neglected pop-rock music: a bit of classic progressive sound by Yes, Gentle Giant and Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, a bit of the 70s sci-fi aesthetics so dear to Tangerine Dream, Eloy and Hawkwind and a bit of jazz-fusion easy listening to give an unfashionable elegance touch. All are …
