Masayuki Takayanagi

Masayuki Takayanagi's first solo improvisation album, recorded after his miraculous recovery from the brink of death. A chaotic work of avant-garde art that freely shifts between perspectives where madness and aesthetic beauty intersect.

Takayanagi plays electric guitar alone, with Ren Hayashi credited for electric co-ordination. Recorded on August 21 and 22, 1982 at Sound Sky Studio, Tokyo, mixed by Yoshihiko Kannari and produced by Takeshi Fujii, with liner notes by Masahiko Yuh. The programme runs from Lonely Woman and Kary's Trance to Song for Che, Lennie's Pennies and Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair.
