Shigeru Mizuki & Tokihiko Morishita - Yokai Genso
Shigeru Mizuki & Tokihiko Morishita - Yokai Genso
Japan Original Pressing.
One of the strangest Japanese electronic records of the 70s. Shigeru Mizuki’s yokai world transformed into synthesizers, musique concrète, ritual percussion and nightmarish sound design.
Yokai Genso does not simply make music inspired by Japanese monsters, it tries to give them an actual sonic existence. “Kappa” unfolds like a surreal seven-minute nightmare, “Tanukibayashi” throws taiko-like percussion into a cosmic electronic space, while “Azukiarai” drifts into eerie, almost ambient territory. Experimental electronics, psychedelia, progressive music and Japanese folklore collide in a record that still sounds genuinely strange today. With Mizuki’s original yokai illustrations and commentary in the booklet, this is as much an art object as it is a cult Japanese electronic masterpiece.

We grade carefully by eye and ear, but it’s still a human call, so please check the notes before buying.
