Haruomi Hosono & Tadanori Yokoo – Cochin Moon – LP

“Cochin Moon”  is Haruomi Hosono’s fifth solo album. Initially intended as a collaboration with illustrator Tadanori Yokoo, who traveled to India alongside Hosono (as part of a group) for inspiration; Yokoo ended up only drawing the cover, having been the worst victim of an outburst of severe diarrhea amongst the group during the trip, rendering this as a Hosono solo album. “Cochin Moon” was conceptually written as the soundtrack of a non-existent Bollywood film, a trait inspired by the artists’ trip. The album includes performances by Tin Pan Alley keyboardist Hiroshi Satō and Yellow Magic Orchestra members Ryuichi Sakamoto and Hideki Matsutake.

You simply can miss this awesome and hard to find piece of work, where spicy Electronics meet Eastern Exotica!
