Brilliant been trying to get a listen to this one for ages, did get hold of a couple of tracks off killer groove, but now I can hear the whole LP. Many thanks.

thanks for the funky muzak.

I find your comments almost impossible to read though - black on dark gray is tough! How bout a little more contrast?

Vesper:

I am not sad that you missed out on posting "Into Eternity" first because you brought out yet another bomb from your collection. This is a bit of odd production from Hino - this came in a creative period of his that was clearly rich with exploration into other genres. It draws from funk and fusion more than "IE", and it can be seen as the transition into his '80s period of fusion. Yet, there are just enough touches of that ol' hard boppin' Hino-san to make this set a keeper.

As always, a clean rip and an uncommon set that will set back the wallet for some serious cash if a clean LP can be found here. . .

Cheers,

JN
P.S. Have you checked out visually-impaired rodentia lately?

Big post Vesper--discovering these are the kind of grooves is what makes your blog and others such treasures.

been waiting years to hear this one, and to be honest, there aren't too many albums I could say that about so, many thanks for sharing this, seems to be the general sentiment fo this one!

I had this on vinyl but couldn't get it onto to CD so thanks very much for the quality rip. "This planet is ours" is such a classy, understated groove.
