Sophie's staff pick "This 1983 album from Japanese musician Midori Takada is surely one of the best examples of minimal ambient music. Recorded in just four days if you haven't heard her incredible album, then there's no time like now!"
Considered a Holy Grail of Japanese music by many, Through The Looking Glass is Midori Takada’s first solo endeavor, a captivating four-song suite capturing her deep quests into traditional African and Asian percussive language and exploring contemplative ambient sounds with an admirably precise use of marimba. The result is alternatively ethereal and vibrant, always precise and mesmerizing, and makes for an atmospheric masterpiece and an unparalleled sonic and spiritual experience.
