Fantastic album from Koichi Oki, a Japanese electronic keyboard musician. He was employed by Yamaha in the early 70s to promote their Electone organs. Bit weird, discogs has this album listed as volume 2 with another cover but the same playlist... Some wonderful weirdness and great funkiness on this one!!

Enjoy!
