"Carsavina," the fantastical sound world of leading Japanese composer/arranger/keyboardist Akira Inoue, which was released only as a cassette book in 1984, is now available on LP for the first time in the world!
Taking the legendary early 20th century ballet dancer "Nijinsky" as its theme, this timeless instrumental music combines ambient, minimal, ethno and fusion in a classical and electronic style! This historic work, released as part of Fuyukisha's "Cassette Book Series SEED" along with a series of works such as Haruomi Hosono's "Water for Flowers," Hiroyasu Yaguchi's "Tourist Spot Orchestra," and Moonriders' "Mania Maniera," has finally been reissued in LP format!
