Amazingly, Takada composed and recorded everything within two days of studio recording (two tracks per day) resulting in what would prove to be a timeless masterwork of atmospheric ambient music. \u003cem\u003eThrough The Looking Glass\u003c\/em\u003e wasn't a commercial success at the time of release, but with the recent resurgence of ambient music, a new generation of listeners has brought it back into the collective zeitgeist, saving it from the depths of obscurity. The short sound samples don't really do justice, but give a short glimpse of the powerful and meditative vibes contained within. Top quality pressing, housed in Stoughton tip-on jackets with extensive liner notes included. Not to be missed, especially with scarcity of the original (that fetches over $700 on the second hand market). Highly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehoused in Stoughton tip-on jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprinted inner sleeve w\/ extensive liner notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Palto Flats \/ WRWTFWW 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by Hana Ni Mizu 03\/2017\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Midori Takada","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":32299123592,"sku":"lp-8526","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/midoritakada-throughthelookingglass.jpg?v=1762272956","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/midori-takada-through-the-looking-glass-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
