Takeda, Soshi
Floating Mountains
'Floating Mountains' is the second full-length by Japanese visionist Soshi Takeda. Recorded using exclusively hardware synths and samplers from the 1990s, the six songs evoke shrouded cinematic vistas of liquid skies and shining lakes, like some Li River twist on Balearic half-light house. Shades of cosmic drift and crystalline electronica ebb and flow within the nocturnal pulse, pagodas and pearls reflecting the waning moon: "I hope you can feel the cool and exotic atmosphere."
