A few years ago I made a trip to Japan (Nihhon) to kick it with my buddy Toyohisa Kanno. While we were exploring the various parts of Roppongi (Gaijin) Tokyo we happened to stumble upon one of his favorite Japanese (Nihojin) electronic artists named: Organ-O-Rounge. I had never heard of them before this point, but the experience was amazing. Since then Toyo has been sending me their albums. I must say, I looked long and hard to find their albums in the states, but to no avail. I’m sure I could have just found their albums on “i-tunes”, but I’m not a fan of the whole “i-tunes” monopoly game that Apple is trying to push on everyone. Anyway… this is probably one of my favorite albums by Organ-O-Rounge titled: “Futron.” It just so happens that is also the name of one of my favorite tracks on the album.

If you’re like me, (still kicking it in record stores, and living in the USA), and you happen to stumble upon this album while digging, do yourself a favor and BUY IT. Not only is it extremely hard to find in the US, but it’s absolutely beautiful as well and a must own to anyone who wants to remain sane in this “America’s Next Top whatever…” age we’re living in.

Anyway, be sure to give it a listen.

Enjoy,
