Rie Murakami - Sahara CD

Closed, opens tomorrow 11amIndependent shop in University DistrictDirections

Available from Al's Music & Games when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

The album’s blending of instrumentation and genres - from funk, disco, soul and orchestral arrangements and then back again - makes it reminiscent of early WANG CHUNG’s pop sensibilities, blended with a dash of YELLO’s exuberant playfulness but front and foremost is all the whimsical charm one comes to expect from an 80’s J-Pop record. Not one to be missed!
