Captain Future (Soundtrack) [LP + Obi-Strip Import]

Yuji Ohno & Galaxy - Captain Future (Soundtrack) [LP + Obi-Strip Import]

Yuji Ohno brought Japanese Saturday-evening futurism with this highly original digital funk soundtrack, originally written for the Captain Future anime from way back in 1979 and long out of vinyl print. He applies a similar instinct here as that wielded on Lupin The Third, where a real retro thrust meets unfazeable vocals over a proto-future-funk slice of anything but space junk. Slap-bass propulsion, elastic Rhodes lines and clipped brass figures move briskly from cosmic chase themes to late-night comedowns, standing out on "Andromeda No Kanata," "Oyasumi Future Men" and "Ijigen No Eden."
