Setting all that aside, though, there is some truly terrific, phenomenally enjoyable music to be found here. Meanwhile, the deliberate mysteriousness of the whole business - available details on Tanaka are scant and sketchy - makes it all that much more exotic and/or gimmicky. Add in the generically beachy, soft-focus artwork and the archly hokey moniker and album title - recalling the leisure-lounge vibe of swinging-'90s shibuya-kei acts like Pizzicato Five and Fantastic Plastic Machine, not to mention Atom Heart's shticky electro-Latin "outfit" Señor Coconut y Su Conjunto - and the strawberry daiquiri-scented stench of kitsch is downright impossible to miss. roughly inorder of how much i think i like them, best first.Ĭlive Tanaka Y Su Orquesta: Jet Set Siempre Nº 1 reviewĪvailable only on cassette when it was initially released in 2010, with vinyl and digital editions following in early 2011 - both tape and vinyl in an eye-catching blue-green - the debut offering from the shadowy Clive Tanaka y Su Orquesta arrived carrying the distinct whiff of novelty.
though who knows if julianna barwick really counts. Okay, here are twenty-four reviews i wrote in the last six months, all on more-or-less electronic-type-music.
