Cindelic Records in Italy reissues this 1981 classic that finds Chisato Yamada joining forces with Takeshi Terauchi and his Oriental Fantastic Orchestra to make an LP that defies expectation and categorization.  It is a unique record, a conceptual work, with innovative songs that transcend the boundaries of traditional music by mixing modernity, rural, and electronic atmospheres, local arias and contemporary music. It is a record with strongly evocative and cinematic sounds.
