Ninth studio album by one of Japan's best roots music groups. Their usual mix of predominantly Japanese and Asian with other styles from around the world, on this album perhaps more European than before. The duo female vocals of Emi and Satoko are in fine form, while the instrumentation is bigger than ever. Includes unlikely cover version-Rod Stewart's "Sailing", sung in Japanese and sounding like a Japanese folk song. Their best album for years.

Shang Shang Typhoon have been one of Japan's best live bands for several years. This album, recorded in a temple near Tokyo (see photos) draws on material from throughout their career and captures some of the excitement and energy of a SST gig. However, if you are new to the band, probably still better to start off with one of their studio albums.
