Transonic is a new Japanese label run by Kazunao Nagata, the same guy behind the utterly fascinating electronics label, Zero Gravity. This Transonic label is not related to Nanjo of High Rise/Musica Transonic, but instead focuses on the strange electronic underground currently brewing in and around Tokyo. Like Zero Gravity, the graphics lean towards stunning hi-tech precision and the sounds documented run the gamut from classic ambient stylings to the more purely inexplicable. "King of Opus has been paying attention to Les Baxter and Martin Denny's exotic sound and Esquivel and Rass Garcia's strange mood. This album includes dub-based exotic voodoo sound, techno sounding like tropical island wood percussion sound. 90s strange sound." An odd and compelling album that dares to list the following as "musical inspilation": Les Baxter, King Tubby, Sonny & Cher, Voodoo, crazy surf, bad jazz, bad mambo, exo, bon-zai disco, ghoul, noise, down beat, chant."
