What is new in my music library? (recent purchases I enjoy)

" Niningashi’s Heavy Way (1974) is a rare gem of Japanese acid folk, showcasing Kazuhisa Okubo’s talent for blending soulful songwriting with psychedelic grooves. Though studying pharmacy, Okubo was immersed in music, channeling his experiences in Tokyo’s lively acid folk scene into this singular album."

"This 1982 Belgian ‘Kosmisch’ stunner was originally issued by ‘CRETS’ or Centre de Recherche et d’Etudes. The seven extended pieces form a course of ‘sound therapy’ similar in tone to Angel Rada’s ‘hand played’ explorations in rubato-rooted forms. The largely tonal pieces – recorded using string and choir synthesizers, vocoders, drum machines, etc. along with a heavy battery of phasing and time-based effects-lands somewhere between a ‘library music’-styled mood excursion and a genuinely transformative mind melter that ranks as one of the more obscure entrants into the…obscure electronic music canon. (Keith Fullerton Whitman)."
