Some words on this issue: SATO MASAHIKO & TAKAHASHI YUJI: “S/T” (Denon – OS-7111-ND) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Mint/ Obi: Mint) Rare original pressing. Recorded in November 1974 and released in 1983, this free-jazzing electronic music gem is largely overlooked, which is quite a shame. Sato Masahiko needs no introduction if you are acquainted with Japan’s free-jazzing key figures. Takahashi Yuji is also a well-known name, be it in the circles of contemporary and electronic music. He got his fame as a tremendous interpreter of Xenakis work on piano. Here however, we are faced with a whole different ballgame. Side one sees the two of them pounding away on piano, creating a vicious, but still austere and well balanced, but therefore no less adventurous interaction. Sparks certainly fly off in all possible directions. However, as far as my personal tastes go, the second side is where the real treat resides. While Sato Masahiko keeps on spinning out almost impenetrable structures on the piano, Takahashi interacts with live electronics, creating a perfect and otherworldly highly counterbalance. Free jazz meets electronic music improvisation. Killer material and so bloody rare these days. Top copy.
