tracklist:

Acoustic side:

1 - Samarkand (18:49)

Piano [Steinway - L] – Masahiko Sato Piano [Steinway - R] – Yuji Takahashi Remix – Kaoru Iida

 « Samarkhand" is a conceptual work for liquid piano and clusters that works on a split effect: Takahashi on the right channel, Sato on the left channel.

At times sounds like classical music on speeds. 

Free and nervous! 

Electric side:

1 - Taklamakan (10:40)

Piano [Prepared], Synthesizer [Ems-synthi=aks] – Yuji Takahashi Remix – Kaoru Iida Synthesizer [Minimoog, Mini-korg], Electric Piano [Fender Rhodes] – Masahiko Sato  

2 - Lob Nor (8:54)

Piano [Prepared], Synthesizer [Ems-synthi=aks] – Yuji Takahashi Remix – M. Sato*, Y. Takahashi* Synthesizer [Minimoog, Mini-korg], Electric Piano [Fender Rhodes] – Masahiko Sato 

the 2 equally mindblowing tracks "Taklamakan" and "Lob Nor" are just but a festival of bleeps, stretched and crispy sounds out of an orchestra of prepared piano, 

EMS synthi AKS, Minimoog, Mini-Korg and Fender Rhodes. 

Completely abstract electronic improvisation for the best sonic effect.

GRADING :

M (MINT)

Sealed, never played, new in its original packaging.

NM (NEAR MINT)

Almost perfect copy, never or very rarely played. At worst, one or two surface marks, generally insignificant and due to inner sleeve. This the highest grade for an unsealed record.

EX (EXCELLENT)

Very clean copy, some insignificant surfaces marks (hairlines). This record has been rarely played, on good equipment and treated with care. The cover has very minor flaws: a name or discrete initials, low wear corners, very slight ringwear.

VG + + (VERY GOOD + +)

More surface marks.Minor flaws or cover wear, minor edge wear. This is generally the grade given to a 20 to 50 years old record with a "normal" life, treated with care, but listened and handled regularly by his former owner.

VG + (VERY GOOD +)

Has been played a lot, shows multiple slight surface marks (hairlines) generating background noise between songs but no jump or skips. Cover shows important signs of age and storage (slice corners worn, name, date, dedication, tears, etc. ...). Generally, this record was one of the favorites among previous owner discotheque , went from hand to hand, had to animate some parties and bears the scars of a busy life.

VG (VERY GOOD)

The record is very worn, has been played a lot, shows important scratches that are creating permanent background noises but do not skip or jump. Still listenable (especially at high volume for big sound). The cover is well worn, torn important corner and edge wear, significant traces of marker pen or ... well, the previous grade but more accentuated.

G (GOOD)

Has been played to the hilt (but still playable on some titles), many scratches, crackles a lot while playing, may have jumps or sticks. The cover is very damaged. This record must be very rare to be proposed on sale !
