Following the success in 2017 of the Koharu Kisaragi/Ryuichi Sakamoto collaboration Neo-plant, Lag Records continues its revival of vintage electronic esoterica with Kissh? Tennyo, the 1984 LP by Joe Hisaishi, premier film composer of Japan. Whilst known worldwide for his elegiac scores to Studio Ghibli classics like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, it’s a different kind of soundtrack behind Kissh? Tennyo, intended as it was to be a musical accompaniment to an ‘80s manga of the same name. It’s also a showcase of Hisaishi’s lesser known talents as an electronic musician, shortly before he became composer of choice for world-renowned directors such as Hayao Miyazaki and Takeshi Kitano.
