Otomo Yoshihide - Early Recordings




This is a CDr that he gave away to 50 lucky people at a gig in Tokyo in 2005. This features three short pieces recorded between 1976 and 1983 (or 1984). When I say they are short ... the entire thing only comes in at seven minutes but it's a valuable glimpse into the younger mind of the great man.

Thank you Very much!

I remember reading an issue of the Wire where he stated that he learned the guitar with Masayuki Takayanagi. Until then i thought of him as a composer because of the album cathode, which i still listen to.
