[1985]
Uplifting.
DIY lo-fi outsider pop from the 80s Japanese cassette underground.
Cosmic Colors is like a naive art version of city pop. Pure beauty and innocence sans the too slick soulless sheen.
This guy released over 35 cassettes in the space of five years from 1981 to 1985. None of these albums were issued outside Japan. Cult status in the western world awaits for K. Yoshimatu.
[1982]
K. Yoshimatu - Spherical Voyage
Low key evocative minimal instrumental spacey ambience juxtaposed with strange almost cartoon-like clangorous percussion.
This cassette seems like a precursor to hypnagogia with its vaguely psych prog aura mixed with echo-y new age touches.
[1985]
Juma - Lunar Lavender
Juma is a K Yoshimatu alias. This guy's just got a knack for gorgeous guitar and synth melodies, like he just can't help it.
