Yoshitaka Azuma - Moonlight of Asia. 1981 Nippon Columbia
***Reissued by Nippon Columbia, April 2013 ***
Moonlight of Asia is an early all-instrumental work by future video game composer Azuma. Somewhat similar to same period Kitaro, and a precursor to what Motoi Sakuraba would accomplish later in the decade. He has other albums from this period (Asian Wind, Far From Asia), which I'll guess to be in a similar vein. I was later advised that his other (3) albums are much more laid back and that Moonlight of Asia is the more progressive rock influenced of the bunch. Not to be overlooked is the fine analog synthesizer work - especially some of the fat Moog sequencer runs. A good one for fans of late 70s electronic music. Details for this artist in English are scarce.
