Blind Drunk In Shinjuku

 

Zerosen - Asphalt [HRLP 212 JPN 2020 24-Bit FLAC]

Here is another in my series of occasional Japanese AOR/jazz/funk/disco re-works, Asphalt (or to give its proper name, アスファルト) was originally released in 1976 on the Victor Musical Industries, Inc. label, who have finally gotten around to a repress of the highest quality. I dived straight into this album for the opening salvo of Scramble, most of the rest of the album is occasional wah-wah funk and chilled jazz/soul which should appeal to fans of library & elevator music. There is something very 'hotel lobby' about this record ....but that's a good thing is it not?
