Bleep

Six months on from the release of Studio Mule’s Midnight In Tokyo and the Mule Musiq sub-label drop the second volume. Midnight In Tokyo, Volume 2 manages to stand out from the recent glut of reissues of music from 70’s/80’s Japan due to the breadth of material here. Anyone who’s developed a craving for City Pop will be satisfied by cuts like Air Suspension Club Band’s ‘In The Hot City’, Keiichi Oku’s ‘Heat Wave’ and Parachute’s ‘Mystery Of Asian Port’. However, we also have tunes here that synthesise Reggae, Afro-Latin jazz and psychedelic folk with the slick electronic pop sounds of the time.
