Powerful grooves and striking sound define the resurrection of Zerosen’s legendary first album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eZerosen was a group led during the 1970s by Katsunori Ishida, who would later gain recognition as a producer, composer, and arranger of numerous television and film soundtracks. With a fluid lineup and only a brief period of activity, the group disappeared almost as quickly as it emerged. The only recordings left behind were two albums originally produced as audio component test records. Yet these recordings would later gain worldwide attention as landmark examples of Japanese rare groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRemarkably, this debut album already presents a fully realized concept and sound. Highlights include the rolling groove and vibrant keyboard work of “Scramble”, the hard-driving beat of “Circuit”, and the mellow Caribbean-infused groove of “Majo no Sasayaki”. There is not a weak moment to be found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOutstanding arrangements and performances generate a groove of exceptional power, while the album’s origins as an audio component test record contribute to its vivid and dynamic sonic character. Here lies crossover music in its truest sense—a timeless fusion of musicianship, groove, and sound quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eText by Yusuke Ogawa (universounds \/ Deep Jazz Reality)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n[[Selling Points]]\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressed on pure vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZerosen’s legendary first album\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful grooves and striking sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n[[Catalog Number]]NJS-867[[Artist]]Zerosen","brand":"Victor Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Asphalt \/ Album \/ LP Pure","offer_id":48441384993013,"sku":"NJS-867","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/6417\/2096\/files\/4988002955572.jpg?v=1784329670","url":"https:\/\/lightintheattic.net\/products\/asphalt","provider":"Light in the Attic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
