Well, only think of Chase in the "70's big band" manner,
because this is more complex than them. The writing
(two side-long suites) is well done, but maybe think of
a more sinister version of Nucleus - or maybe Zao or
Yochk'o Seffer Neffesh Music. The fact that it draws
on ancient Japanese stories and various mythologies
isn't that important here, if you're just going for the
sound, but it tends to add some to its "atmosphere."
Not even near "smooth jazz." Less melodic than If,
but as adventurous. Think Centipede's Septober Energy too.
