More fantastic dark, melodic, experimental, proggy, electronic, atmospheric, abstract, rhythmic and at times disturbing splendour. #RichardBarbieri in great form, features many musical guests. Intruiging. #Japanthon

Steve Jansen - 'Corridor' (2018)

More excellent #SteveJansen atmospheric material. Clouds of synths, subtle percussion and hazy melodies. This is warm, relaxed, comforting, almost ambient music and again: gorgeous stuff. #Japanthon

Steve Jansen - 'The Extinct Suite' (2017)

A special reworking of #SteveJansen 'Tender Extinction' album material. Sounds, chords, instruments and atmospheres from the album are remixed into a long instrumental and ambient suite. Gorgeous stuff. #Japanthon

Yoshihiro Hanno meets Mick Karn - 'Liquid Glass' (1998)

Trip hop, electronic, jazz, drum 'n bass: it's all in this fijne collaboration album by #YoshihiroHanno and #MickKarn. All instrumental, this is adventurous and exciting stuff. #Japanthon

Mick Karn - 'The Concrete Twin' (2010)

The last #MickKarn solo album before he sadly passed away on January 4, 2011. Once again, he plays all the instruments. It's a bit more optimistic sounding, but still weird, rhythmic, exciting and excellent too. #Japanthon
