Kensuke Ide & The Mothership (井手健介と母船)

井手健介と母船

via Tokyo Buy Buy Diary View post →

The 2015 self-titled debut from Japanese indie oddball Kensuke Ide under the Mothership banner, featuring regulars like Gezan's Hakaba Getaro and Tatsuhisa Yamamoto plus guests Eiko Ishibashi, Toshiaki Sudoh and Satoko Shibata. Standout "Aoi Sanzoku" opens in hazy pastoral calm before flute and piano break in, joined by sweet harmonies with Shibata. A former nine-year employee of Kichijoji's legendary Baus Theater who has directed videos for Shintaro Sakamoto and Ayano Kaneko, Ide makes music with an uncanny cinematic quality. The 2017 first vinyl pressing sold out fast; this reissue is freshly remastered by Soichiro Nakamura.


David Tudor — Anima Pepsi
Electronic / Musique Concrète / Experimental 1970

David Tudor

Anima Pepsi

Two rare works electronic-music pioneer David Tudor created for the Pepsi-Cola Pavilion at Expo '70 in Osaka, reissued by Italy's Blume. The E.A.T.-designed dome, wrapped in perpetual fog, housed a 37-speaker system Tudor built with engineers, turning the building into a playable instrument. "Pepsibird" draws on human and animal brainwaves and nerve signals; "Anima Pepsi" transforms mosquitoes trapped in jars, flies on flypaper and chewing wasps. Limited to 300 red vinyl copies worldwide with a 20-page booklet by Tudor scholar You Nakai.

Digger (Original Soundtrack)

British musician Cosmo Sheldrake's first full feature score, for Alejandro González Iñárritu's 2026 film Digger starring Tom Cruise.

Four Tet — TEXT059
Electronic / House / UK Garage 2026

Four Tet

TEXT059

Kieran Hebden's new Four Tet record, titled in an unpronounceable string of symbols and released on his own Text Records. Compared with his early ambient, folk-sampling electronics, this one leans toward the dancefloor, mixing house, UK garage and slightly experimental rhythms — but the tiny sounds, shifting loops and deceptively casual layering remain his signature.
