Nobukazu Takemura - Child's View (1994)

HELLO, MY MILLIONS OF FANS, I AM BACK. I'd like to tell you that there's been some kind of major event, good or bad, that has prevented me from posting for the past month-plus, but the truth is, I've just been busy, my head's been elsewhere, and I haven't really been nerding out on music too much. And I can't really say whether I'll be posting on here again tomorrow or in another month or so, we'll see. But I can say with certainty that it feels good to strap some headphones on and zone the fuck out, and for whatever reason, this is the first album that I thought to put on. Downtempo electronic tunes -- with elements of exotica/lounge, jazz, fusion, R&B, and hip hop -- from Japan. Enjoy.

Also, I see all of your re-up requests. There are too many for me to tackle right now. Soon, hopefully.
