ORIENTALISM

the ethereal almost disembodied sound of the bamboo flute, moonlight in the reeds, a beautiful maiden pines for her lover

the drone which extends the moment and creates psychic continuity over stretches of time the White Man could never dream of

the goading, maddening sounds of the alghoza like a beautiful dancing girl inflaming you to the utmost limits of burning desire

@WashYourHands probably can dig through all that sound clash republic/shiva shanti dross to find the one solitary gem (lol)

Better to head to the actual source rather than an ism. Japan is a rich, well worn hunting ground - Tomiie, Nori, Terada, Fukotomi all the way through to more recent generations. Droid is probably a better read on the masses of ambient. Ridiculous pricing on older slabs, which is where the ism kicks in with re-release compilations from Brawther and Far East Fam. Look at the £ quoted and this is just the 90’s (Shiva Shanti can fuck right off btw)


Shitting on legacies aside

Anything English with a Japanese name will be awful
English people thinking they're bringing the intense focus and single minded devotion to a drum and bass tune that a master sushi maker brings to shaping his nigiri
Imagine them conjuring up that mind state.spam faced English man. Imagine the look on his face has he channels that austere mindfulness.
