On Something's Coming, the legendary Japanese trumpeter, composer, and masterfully sharp post-bop pioneer Shunzo Ohno leads a stellar, bi-continental powerhouse collective to deliver a towering, historically volcanic, and masterfully panoramic studio document. Originally recorded in New York in 1975 and beautifully preserved on this pristine high-fidelity digital reissue by the legendary Japanese vanguard imprint East Wind, this independent jazz-funk milestone stands as a monumental holy grail of electric fusion history. Spanning over 36 minutes of immaculate high-fidelity spatial design, the 4-part continuous landscape operates with an intense, heavily syncopated, and beautifully volatile kinetic energy. Ohno acts as a brilliant sonic visionary, seamlessly fusing intricate, burning post-bop geometries with dark, lysergic electronic foundations—tracking magnificent highlights like the massive, 14-minute multi-layered title epic Something's Coming, the hard-driving electric syncopation of You Dig That?, and the sprawling, hypnotic closure of But It's Not So. Driven by Ohno’s piercing, laser-focused trumpet architecture, Reggie Lucas’s gritty, Miles-esque electric guitar scratches, a swirling keyboard cockpit of Cedric Lawson and avant-garde icon Masabumi Kikuchi, and the legendary, explosive drum engine of master Roy Haynes, this pristine archive remains an indispensable cornerstone for serious electric jazz purists and global fusion collectors worldwide.

On Rings, the legendary godfather of Japanese avant-garde percussion Masahiko Togashi steps completely isolated into the studio to deliver a towering, deeply spiritual, and masterfully panoramic solo document. Recorded in Tokyo in 1975 and beautifully preserved on this digital archive by the legendary audiophile imprint East Wind, this avant-garde milestone stands as a monumental testament to absolute creative freedom, artistic resilience, and instrumental mastery. Spanning over 74 minutes of immaculate high-fidelity spatial design, the 12-part continuous landscape operates with an intense, deeply meditative, and beautifully balanced kinetic energy. Performing entirely alone following a life-altering accident that paralyzed his lower body, Togashi constructs a breathtaking, multi-layered acoustic environment using a specially modified drum kit and an array of pitched idiophones—firing off magnificent tracking highlights like the dense geometric movements of Ring 1 and Ring 2, the epic, sprawling structural centerpiece Ring 7, and the delicate, shimmering textures of Ring 11. Driven by his impeccable polyrhythmic focus, exquisite sense of spatial silence, and mesmerizing mallet runs, this pristine archive remains an indispensable masterpiece for serious avant-garde purists and global percussion collectors worldwide.
