A Tale of Mysterious Forest, by Ain Soph (1980): This was my first exploration of Japanese prog (and hardly my last, having seen the ripping set by Kenso on the NEARfest 2005 DVD), even though it isn't particularly Japanese. In fact, it's very well done instrumental jazz-influenced prog, along the lines of most fusion and/or Canterbury groups. The sense of humor even shines through in the liner notes:
The music of this CD is not dancing music, but basically music for listening to.Indeed!
