Song of the day

"Holy Dance", by Tetsu Inoue. Fifteen minutes of bliss. I haven't heard ambient music this "exciting" (a relative concept) since "Music for Airports" (which, as I think you already know, I rate as highly as I would rate any other record I have ever heard, of any genre, from any time). It has that record's ever so slight edge of veiled menace, while, also like that record, never taking anything away from its sterile beauty (listen, and you will realise that those two words are no zero-sum game).
