Through The Looking Glass

WRWTFWW & Palto Flats Records are ecstatic to announce the highly-
anticipated reissue of Japanese percussionist Midori T akada’s sought
after and timeless ambient / minimal album “Through The Looking
Glass”, originally released in 1983 by RCA Japan.
Considered a Holy Grail of Japanese music by many, “Through The
Looking Glass” is Midori T akada’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.
The fully licensed reissue is available as a single 33rpm LP and a limited
45rpm DLP, both cut directly from the original studio reels (AAA), at
Emil Berliner (formerly the in-house recording department of renowned
classical record label Deutsche Grammophon) for the 45rpm DLP, and at
the equally famous Frankfurter SST Studio for the LP. It is also available
in CD format for the first time. All versions come with extensive liner
notes.
