Some words on this issue: TAKEMITSU Toru: “Film Music By Toru Takemitsu - Vol. 10” (Victor – KVX-1071) (Record: Mint/ Jacket: Mint/ Obi: Near Mint/ 4-paged insert: Mint). Released in 1980, this record was the last release in a series of 10 albums to shed some initial light on his vast and until then seemingly ever expanding oeuvre. Here Takemitsu’s sonic art decorates the scenes of Bad Boys and A Full Life (both by director Susumu Hani); Beast Alley (director Eizo Sugawa); The Car Thief (director Yoshinori Wada); Last Judgment (director Hiromichi Horikawa) and Incandescent Flame (director Masahisa Sadanaga). Like John Boorman states in the liner notes – “In movies, music is called upon to serve many functions, humble as well as noble; to provide a vague atmosphere, to suggest emotion otherwise absent from the scenes; to keep the audience from falling asleep. At its best, it makes love to the film and achieves a oneness that provides some of the most magical moments in cinema. Takemitsu is one of the few great composers of film music. He loves movies and has successfully made love to quite a few of them. His music does not decorate, it penetrates; and reveals the very heart of the movie.” Spot on…Takemitsu ruled and still rules from beyond the grave. Absolutely killer.
