Jun Togawa - Tamahime-sama, 1984 (VBR)


This album is a deliciously fucked up pop gem. Togawa sings sometimes like a child, sometimes like a spirit, sometimes like a princess and sometimes like an operatic maniac. Sometimes all in the same song. The music is (for the time) experimental electronic pop but surprisingly enough it never gets annoying to listen to, the album sucks you in. The fantastic title track is composed by Haruomi Hosono of YMO and Happy End fame. More on Togawa here, and a review of the album can be found here.
