Product Description

CD Description
Fans of Nobukazu Takemura's previous (and excellent) American release, FUNFAIR, may find cause to pause upon hearing the first track on SCOPE. A 20-minute track of old-school electronic music and skipping CD sounds, it's unlike anything onhis previous disc. Neither is "Taw", which sounds for all the world like a crazed grackle attacking a flatulent R2 unit. Is it extreme? Yes, but it's also oddly soothing. With these notable exceptions, the bulk of the disc contains those pleasant, burbling sounds and tranquil textures that have become a signature sound for Takemura and make any of his recordings a wonderful listen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oh... My... God..., 28 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This album is a truly strange thing. It is the strangest CD I have ever heard. Its relentless strangeness is breathtaking to behold. 'On a balloon' is long and repetitive and sends you into a trance. 'Kepler' is Japanese Xylophone Trance(tm). It is long and repetitive and completely beautiful. 'Taw' is horrible and painful and completely inappropriate. 'Icefall' is a track made up entirely of CD skips. It is long and very very repetitive and sends you into a trance. 'Tiddler' IS the music from the end of a cheap SNES game. This album is in places so sublime it is ridiculous. If you are the kind of person who likes to climb underneath a duvet with a CD Walkman, I recommend this album. It makes you wonder how much modern culture you are missing.
