A2. 'Misturada (dedicate to Okinawa)' - Koichi Ozaki
B. 'Moss' - Novo Tempo
This is Koichi Ozaki's third EP 003 and it is an ep with two tracks from Tokyo band Novo Tempo (Flower Recordings & Brazil Nights). 'Kagaribi' (by Novo Tempo) kicks the ep with a 9/8 bossa; Rhodes, flutes, a Kyoto-Jazz-Massive b-line & vocals by Saigenji. Koichi Ozaki's own 'Misturada (dedicate to Okinawa)' is piano-led bossa instrumental, with - near the middle - the right amount of 4/4-beats. At first hypnotising, then uplifting. B-side 'Moss' by Novo Tempo starts with a melancholic amon-tobin-like guitar loop, adds gentle flutes, a phat dj-krush hiphop beat and later on in the track a jazzy guitar solo (ninja tune versus Philip Cathérine?). Eurasian Suite EP 003 will see it's release this July.
100% Japan.
