About this release
Choice Cuts 1978–1983 gathers eight recordings from Japanese pianist and composer Izumi ‘Mimi’ Kobayashi’s early albums. The selection moves from the electro-funk of ‘Mas Que Nada’ and the stripped-back synth arrangement of ‘Coffee Rumba’ to the soul-jazz feel of ‘Naze’ and ‘Angel Sky’. ‘Crazy Love’ and the steel-drum colours of ‘Palm St.’ come from Coconuts High, while ‘Espresso’ brings a piano-led samba touch. Drawing on Sea Flight, Coconuts High, Nuts Nuts Nuts and Tropicana, Time Capsule traces a playful meeting of Latin rhythms, fusion and electronic boogie. Mike Hillier remastered and cut the LP at Metropolis Studios; a four-page bilingual insert accompanies the record.
