Akio Niitsu

Akio Niitsu is a musical genius who is still internationally acclaimed for his originality and musicality, as evidenced by his album "I/o" (1978), which features guitar played at twice the speed and multiple recordings. This is the first volume of his unreleased material, compiled from 1973 to 1984, and is the official release of his best album, all for the first time, which presents a new side of Akio Niitsu that could not be found on his original albums. This is the first volume of the unreleased collection, which includes the multiple recordings made when he was 21 years old (1973) on an open-reel deck at home, and the demo tapes sent to record companies from 1975 to 1976, which show the style of "I/o," as well as the idea sketches of the songs for "I/o," outtakes, and the sequels. This 2-CD set is full of mathematical wonders, magic and riddles, and other playful labyrinthine worlds and the best of temporal art. It contains over 120 minutes of 33 takes of minimal experimental pop rarities. (C)RS
