RELEASE DESCRIPTION
RELEASE DESCRIPTION
The concept is "Tokyo." The megalopolis is transformed, and the performance is full of sharp sensitivity and creativity. A new dimension of Japanese jazz has been opened here.
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't sell, let's make a record that smells of culture. I want Japanese people to make Japanese jazz." In response to the director's words, Hiroshi Matsumoto decided to record this work, "Megalopolis". The concept is "Tokyo". Inspired by the view of Tokyo, which was rapidly transforming, from the plane, he began production. Matsumoto, Hideo Ichikawa, Kunimitsu Inaba, and Motohiko Hino set up in a circle so that they could see each other's faces and movements, and they deliberately did not have detailed meetings before recording. The suite-like masterpiece "A Day in the City" "Nostalgia" about the longing for something lost, "Megalopolis" with its refreshing and uplifting bird's-eye view of the city, "Serenade" with its bittersweet ennui, and "City Irritation" that digs deep into the soul. This is a masterpiece that depicts a huge city and the people who live there, with performances full of sharp sensitivity and creativity. The original was released as one disc in Victor's "Japanese Jazz" series.
Text by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS / DEEP JAZZ REALITY)

from 30 reviewsI got this for my husband as a gift and he really loved it. Great sound and beautiful color. I’m so glad I got this vinyl.
Beautiful vinyl. Good price. Came packaged well.
Really happy with the vinyl box set. It was sent quickly, well packaged and made it to Australia unscathed 😊
Came exactly as described and in perfect condition, the best shipment service on vinyls I’ve ever had. Fast and accurate, I’ve had records ordered for almost a month with another store and these guys continually beat out all other stores for shipment. I just ordered again from them, highly recommend.
The album arrived well packaged, in impeccable condition. Love the service. Love this album!
Great shop, I can only recommend it.
I finally received it. It came well packaged and secure. The customer assistance was great and helpful with my queries.
honestly i was very happy to have this poster come in, and imma buy a frame for it later. the poster is really beautiful and i love it, there was a slight defect to it, no fault to the company, but the mailing service itself, but it doesnt really bother me at all since it’s barely noticeable, i am just so happy to own it!!
Beautiful packaging and lovely sonic excursions abound from this vinyl. Thank you !̦ Helix.
Excellent album. I had never purchased from this vendor before and I was initially leary (this album is sold out on bandcamp and Materia Collective's site, and I'd never heard of Helix). But the album arrived quickly and was packaged very securely. I wish the "gold swirl" was a touch more apparent but I understand that each record will look different. Wonderful release from Rozen overall.
Great album that been on list for a while,had to grab for this great price! And shipping was pretty fast as well ,will definitely recommend and shop again.🙏🏽
Awesome addition to my collection.
Vinyl came in great shape and plays well!
