MASAHIKO TOGASHI - Guild For Human Music (1976)

Masahiko Togashi - Guild For Human Music (1976)

   If you are looking for an album that will transcend you into another dimension then you have come to the right place.  This is the progressive-exploratory side of jazz and trips right over fusion.....smack dab!

  This album is not for the faint-of-heart!     It is a study in both sound and textures with some crazy percussion throughout.

"Guild For Human Muisc" is composed of 6 "expressions"  which is a very good choice of words to depict there songs.  Togashi blends his vast array of percussion with various woodwinds, keyboards, flutes and bass effects creating a very lunaristic - transcedental'ish album that verges on extraterrestrial!.......in other words this is far out stuff....

  The end result is an album that really works considering how "lunaristic" it is.......

  The sound quality is also outstanding and is pure audiophile territory!
