1LP Vinyl – HMJA-101 w/obi

Japanese keyboardist Hiroshi Sat is by now a cult figure among record collectors. His masterful jazz-funk classic Orient from 1979 might be his most well known but Time is no less essential. This limited edition reissue backs that up in case you needed reminding. It starts with glowing keys and chords and goes on a journey through sentimental piano ballads, weird country-tinged tropical jams like 'Choit' and downtempo funk in the form of 'Yamate Hotel.' Elsewhere 'Akanegumo No Machi' casts off to an ocean island and 'Kage Ni Mukatte' is star gazing AOR.

Featuring an ironclad lineup including Haruomi Hosono, Akihiro Tanaka, Kenji Takamizu, Tatsuo Hayashi, Shuichi “Ponta” Murakami, Pecker, Nobu Saito, Hirofumi Tokutake, and Tadahide Yoshikawa
